The mountain was discovered by U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 on photographic flights of 14–15 December 1959, and was mapped from these photos by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Kenneth L. Waldron, a construction electrician in the U.S. Navy and a member of the IGY South Pole Station winter party of 1957.[citation needed]
