Welcome to Campbell, CA!
With its charming historical downtown, safe streets, strong sense of community, highly regarded schools and relatively modest real estate prices, Campbell has become one of the Santa Clara Valley's most desireable residential communities. Home to 38,000 residents, it's part of what's known as the "West Valley," along with its tony neighbors, Los Gatos and Saratoga.
When it comes to location, location, location, Campbell has all three. Campbell sits just a short drive away from Mineta International Airport, Silicon Valley's work places, Downtown San Jose's cultural attractions, Santa Cruz mountain wineries and Santa Cruz beaches.
Campbell was settled in 1851 by hay farmer Benjamin Campbell, whose original 160 acres today comprise Campbell's historic downtown. During the century that followed, the business of growing, drying and packing prunes and apricots dominated the city's life. In 1952, Campbell was incorporated, and Orchard City's orchards gave way to homes and retail centers. Many of the city's landmarks, such as Water Tower Plaza and The Pruneyard shopping center tip their hat to Campbell's proud agricultural heritage.
