History
The first European settlers to the Lebanon Valley area were namely Scotch-Irish and German Palatinate immigrants who left their homelands due to a number of political, economic and religious reasons. The Scotch-Irish in particular were also politically minded, and became involved in local governments quickly after settling in the area.
In 1751, a Scotch-Irish immigrant by the name of John Campbell came to Pennsylvania and settled in the area then known as Derry Township in Lancaster County. Campbell, who was a farmer, initially obtained a 100 acre warrant from Thomas and Richard Penn, proprietors of the Province of Pennsylvania in 1752 and sons of the famous William Penn. After returning his survey, which grew to 352 acres, he patented the property on August 6, 1759. Campbell then laid out various lots subject to the ground rent system, and the village of Campbelltown, then named "Campbell's Town" was thus established.
