However, in 1883, Henry Roberts located a number of mining claims along Roberts Gulch, below this mountain and this may be the source of the name. Between 1902 and 1913 the mountain was frequently called ""Swede Hill,"" but since that time the name ""Mount Roberts"" has been generally adopted (DeArmond, 1957, p. 36-37)." |
