History

Name reported about 1908 by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS). Ivan Petroff in the 1880 Census applied the name "Mt. Robe(r)t Lincoln" to this feature. Baker (1906, p. 529), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), notes that it was apparently so named in 1778 by E. W. Nelson, U.S. Engineers, after the Honorable Robert Lincoln, Secretary of War, 1881-85, and eldest son of President Abraham Lincoln.
