In 1892, Benjamin Campbell’s legacy took root with the formation of the Campbell Water Company, the town’s first utility company. The towering emblem of this historic venture stands tall at 130 feet, a water tower crafted by the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company. Today, it serves as an enduring symbol etched against the canvas of Historic Downtown Campbell, a beacon visible from every corner of the area.
Adjacent to this towering sentinel is the Water Tower Plaza complex, an architectural relic from the late 1800s. Once home to the Hyde Cannery and Sunsweet Corporation, it was one of the world’s largest fruit drying and packaging facilities, a sign of Campbell’s industrial roots.
These two landmarks, with their whispered tales of yesteryears, merely scratch the surface of Campbell's rich history.
