The Mount King William I. marks the entry of the Lyell Highway in the uninhabited area between Franklin - Gordon Wild Rivers National Park and Cradle Mountain - Lake St. Clair National Park. Mountains and lake were named by Sir John Franklin on his expedition in 1842 by three Dutch kings.

William Piguenit (1836-1914) painted the mountain range in the 1880s.
