(East Infection Delaware Delaware Folklore Trivia of the Day -- There are at least two stories of where Slaughter Beach's name came from: The first is that it was named after William Slaughter, A local postmaster in the mid 1800s. The second story claims the name came from the horseshoe crabs that wash up on shore and die each year. They come near shore to shallow water to lay their eggs and the low tide strands them leaving them to die, thus the "slaughter.")
