Nestled in the gentle rolling foothills of the Piedmont in South Carolina and surrounded by peach and apple orchards,

Campobello is a town with a population of 469 residents located in the northwestern area of

Spartanburg County three miles from Interstate 26 at exit 5. Other major highways traveling

through Campobello are U.S. Highways 176 and 357 as well as scenic Highway 11.

From the meager description of land boundaries, and sometimes not even listing the number of

acres with a given tract or parcel, dates sold, etc. it is difficult to determine who were the first

owners of land that is now Campobello. Early county records indicate Isaiah Bowling transferred

164 acres in 1818 to Joseph Davis. In 1826 Mr. Davis acquired 150 acres from Abram Brock, an

additional 50 acres in 1827 as well as 80 acres that did not have a specified date. In 1872 he

purchased a tract of land, size unspecified, from F.J.F. Wall.
