The coast was discovered by the US Antarctic Service (1939–1941) and named for Professor William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, a glaciologist specializing in polar geography and history.
The United States Geological Survey completely mapped the coast from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–1965.
