It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Willard E. Robinson, a construction mechanic at Byrd Station in 1965. Robinson Peak was first successfully climbed on January 2-3, 2013 by Pachi Ibarra, Ralf Laier and Todd Passey.
