About Town of Campobello, SC, Police Department, Municipal Court

The Town of Campobello is in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, with a population of just over 500 people. It is famous for its beautiful natural surroundings, including the Blue Ridge Mountains and the charming downtown area, home to several local businesses.

History and Demographics

The Town of Campobello has a rich history that dates back to the 1700s when Cherokee Indians inhabited the area. Later, European immigrants settled in the area, and during the Revolutionary War, it was the site of a small battle between American patriots and British loyalists.

Afterward, authorities incorporated the town in 1909, and it has been a quiet, peaceful community with diverse residents.

Economy and Local Attractions

Despite its small size, the Town of Campobello has a thriving economy that includes a variety of local businesses. For instance, Hare and Hound Restaurant stands out, which serves classic Southern cuisine.

Besides local businesses, you'll also enjoy outdoor activities in the town. Some of the most notable activities include hiking and camping, thanks to the town's strategic location near the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Another notable attraction is the Campbell's Covered Bridge, built between 1909 and 1911. It is the only remaining covered bridge in the state from the previous 20 existing bridges.

Local Government

Campobello functions under a "Council" type of governance with a Mayor and four Council Members serving four-year terms in a staggered manner. The town residents elect these officials through non-partisan elections. Primarily, the Mayor is the top authority who serves as the spokesperson and town's representative. He also presides over Council meetings.
