Robertson is named after Sir John Robertson, an Australian politician and 5-time former Premier of New South Wales.

The town was once known for cheese production, evidenced by an old factory that stands there today, which has been turned into a commercial establishment. There is also an old butter factory in the town's western part. The whole city was previously surrounded by rainforest, most of which has been cleared for farming. Before being named after Robertson, the city was called Yarrawa Bush, and the town locals called the area Robbo.
