The population was 7,852 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]]. Located directly southeast of [[Youngstown, Ohio|Youngstown]], it is a suburb in the [[Mahoning Valley|Youngstown–Warren metropolitan area]].

Campbell was first called East Youngstown and this designation still appears on real estate deeds between 1902 and 1926, when the city was renamed for local industrialist [[James Anson Campbell|James Campbell]], then chairman of the [[Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Overman|first=William Daniel|title=Ohio Town Names|url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015015361465;view=1up;seq=38|year=1958|publisher=Atlantic Press|location=Akron OH|page=22}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:Campbell City Trust Bank Bldg.jpg|thumb|left|The City Trust & Savings Building on Wilson Avenue]]
In 1902, the [[Youngstown Sheet and Tube|Youngstown Iron Sheet and Tube Company]] established a factory near the [[Mahoning River]] in what was then [[Coitsville Township, Ohio|Coitsville Township]]. A settlement grew around the factory, called East Youngstown, due to its location just southeast from downtown [[Youngstown, Ohio|Youngstown]].<ref>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Youngstown,+OH/@41.0800021,-80.6177144,12z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x8833e1d16893bc9f:0x5d2c726a0cccf044!8m2!3d41.0997803!4d-80.6495194 Youngstown OH - Google Maps (accessed 6 June 2019)]</ref> The village was incorporated in 1908, as its population swelled with young immigrants to work in the steel industry. Many immigrants to the village were [[Greek Americans|Greeks]].

The plant, which would later be known as the Campbell Works, contained four [[blast furnace]]s, twelve [[open hearth furnace]]s, several [[blooming mill]]s, two [[Bessemer converter]]s, a [[semi-finished casting products#Slab|slabbing mill]], a butt-weld tube mill, a {{convert|79|in|adj=on}} hot [[strip mill]], seamless tube mills, and {{convert|9|in|adj=on}} and {{convert|12|in|adj=on}} [[bar stock|bar]] mills. Due to the imbalance of ironmaking and steelmaking facilities at the two plants, rail shipments of molten iron "hot metal" were sent from Campbell to the company’s [[Brier Hill]] Works from 1937 until 1979.

In 1916, Sheet and Tube workers at the East Youngstown plant rioted during a [[strike action|strike]] over [[working conditions]], which resulted in most of the town's [[business district]] being burned to the ground. The strike was quelled by the arrival of [[National Guard of the United States|National Guard]] troops. After the riots, the company erected a series of [[townhouses]] known as "Iron Soup" that were the first [[prefabricated home|prefabricated]] concrete home development in the world.<ref name="iron soup">{{cite web|url=https://tsokoloff.wixsite.com/ironsoup/home |title=Iron Soup |publisher=Timothy G. Sokoloff |access-date=November 8, 2022}}</ref> In 1926, the city was renamed to recognize [[James Anson Campbell]], president of the iron company during the founding of the city.<ref>[http://www.campbellohio.gov/about-us-history.html "History" City of Campbell (accessed 6 June 2019)]</ref>

The company abruptly closed its Campbell Works and furloughed 5,000 workers on September 19, 1977,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://money.cnn.com/2008/04/08/real_estate/radical_city_plan/index.htm?postversion=2008042410 |title=The incredible shrinking city |publisher=CNNMoney.com |author=Christie, Les |access-date=April 24, 2004}}</ref> a day remembered locally as "Black Monday."

Campbell is sometimes referred to as the "City of Churches" because of the wide variety of religious structures found throughout the community.
