Fishkill, New York has a name that has sparked outside controversy, but locals know the truth behind it. In 1996, PETA suggested Fishkill change its name because it sounded like violence toward fish. The town rejected the idea because “Fishkill” comes from the Dutch words “vis kill,” meaning “fish creek,” not harming fish.  

This design celebrates Fishkill’s history, local pride, and the story behind a name that outsiders misunderstood. What some saw as controversy, Fishkill saw as heritage — a reminder that our town’s name is rooted in Dutch history, waterways, and community identity.

Fishkill: not a threat to fish — just a town with a story.
