Robinson is composed of at least four distinct regions that represent former communities that once existed within the township; Groveton (industrial area near the Ohio River), Forest Grove (the area around Montour High and Elementary School and former now demolished school Forest Grove Elementary, Gayly (The area around Settlers Ridge Shopping Center and The Mall at Robinson), and Moon Run (also a part of Kennedy Township, and includes the areas near Burkett Park and Chartiers Country Club).

Robinson Township also completely surrounds Pennsbury Village in the southeast.

27.0% of all households were made up of individuals, and 7.9% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

The Mall at Robinson is located in the township, as well as the open-air Settlers Ridge and several smaller plazas.

In 2007, the Twin Hi-Way was reborn with a complete overhaul and a second screen added two years later.

As of March 2021, the projection room/concessions building, second screen in the back of the lot, and the radio transmission tower are the only remnants of the Twin Hi-Way still standing.

Democrat Conor Lamb carried Robinson Township in 2018 Pennsylvania's 18th congressional district special election.
