They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–66. The hills were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names at the suggestion of Captain Finn Ronne, U.S. Navy Reserve, leader at Ellsworth Station, 1957. As Deputy Secretary of Defense, 1954–55, Robert B. Anderson had responsibilities for U.S. operations in Antarctica.
