Robbins is an unincorporated town in Sutter County. It is located near the east bank of the Sacramento River, southwest of Wilson, northwest of Verona, and southeast of Kirkville. It has a population of 1,888 (as of a 2009 estimate). Its elevation is 36 feet. The average annual rainfall is 17.1 inches. The average high temperature in July is 95.7°, and the average low temperature in January is 37.5°.

Unlike most of Sutter County, Robbins is in the valley grassland plant community. This means that winter flooding, extremely dry summers, and alkaline soil make it difficult for trees and shrubs to grow. However, grasses or grasslike plants are not necessarily the dominant plants either. Many types of herbaceous plants thrive in Valley Grassland.
