In 1850, Kenosha County was created from the southern half of Racine County. Robinson's Assembly district, previously covering southwest Racine County, was now the western Assembly district of Kenosha County. At Kenosha county's first elections in April 1850, Robinson was elected the first County Treasurer.[3] He was ultimately succeeded in the Assembly by Obed Hale, another Free Soiler.
