Constable Peak was named by the Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) Canadian Rocky Mountains Expedition 1960, a small expedition with members from a regiment based in the Tower of London. The expedition named several peaks after the Tower, including The White Tower, North Bastion Mountain, South Bastion Mountain and Tower Mountain, which overlooks the south end of Wokkpash Lake.[2] Constable Peak is named for the Constable of the Tower of London.[3]
