History in Downtown Campbell

In 1892, Benjamin Campbell formed the Campbell Water Company, Campbell's first utility company, and the 130 foot water tower from the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company, has become a symbol for Historic Downtown Campbell, as it is visible throughout the area. The adjacent Water Tower Plaza complex, built in the late 1800's and occupied by Hyde Cannery/ Sunsweet Corporation represented one of the largest fruit drying and packaging facilities in the world. These two landmarks are just a start of Campbell's history. You can explore over two dozen historical landmarks with a free walking tour map available from the Campbell Express Office.
