The community is served by Robbins Elementary School. It is also home to Barton Chapel, a 1920s-era Gothic Revival church designed by noted architectural firm, Barber and McMurry.

The community is probably named for a family that lived in the vicinity when a post office was established in 1880.Larry Miller, [https://books.google.com/books?id=zOzPQYkkbaAC&q=robbins Tennessee Place Names] (Indiana University Press, 2001), p. 178.
