    The town is home to the site of the Wright brothers' first controlled, powered airplane flights on December 17, 1903, which were commemorated by the Wright Brothers National Memorial, which was dedicated in 1932.[3] At the time of their flight, the town of Kill Devil Hills did not exist, having received its municipal charter in 1953.[4] Kitty Hawk, popularly noted as the site of the famous flights, is approximately four miles (6 km) to the north, and was the nearest settlement at the time of the famous flight.

    History

    Kill Devil Hills is the site of the Wright Brothers National Memorial, commemorating the siblings' four powered airplane flights of Thursday, December 17, 1903. Orville returned in 1911, and on October 25 he set a new world glider record, remaining in the air 10 minutes and 34 seconds, soaring against the wind with very little forward movement.[5]
    In addition to the Wright Brothers National Memorial, Sam's Diner was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[6]
