| 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 desirable residential
communities. Home to 38,000 residents, its part of what's
known as the "West Valley," along with its
neighbors, Los Gatos and
San Jose.
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, San Jose's cultural attractions, Santa
Cruz mountain wineries and Santa Cruz beaches. It provides
easy access to highway 17/880 and connections to highway
85, 101, 280 and 680.
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 Campbell 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.
The City of Campbell encompasses 6 square miles. It
is a general law city with a Council-Manager form of
government. The city has a mayor and 4 council members
that serve a 4 year term. The average household income
is $97,400.
