Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Campbell, MO

Campbell is a city in northern Dunklin County, Missouri, in the state's Bootheel region.

Campbell began as a settlement called Four Mile, made in 1844 about four miles from the St. Francis River ferry at Chalk Bluff, and it was one of the first communities in Dunklin County.

A post office called Four Mile opened in 1855, and the name was changed to Campbell in 1882 in honor of Alexander Campbell, a local judge.

When the Cottonbelt Railroad was built through the area in 1880 and crossed the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad southeast of Four Mile, nearly every business relocated to the junction, where the new town of Campbell was laid out and platted in 1886.

Campbell was incorporated in 1894 and grew rapidly on railroad traffic and timber-cutting operations.

After the timber era ended around 1910, Campbell became a leader in peach growing in the Midwest and Mid-South, and its first Peach Festival was held in 1944 and has continued ever since.

Campbell sits at the junction of U.S. Route 62 and Missouri Highway 53, about seven miles southwest of Malden.

Campbell had a population of 1,605 at the 2020 census, down from a peak of 2,176 in 1990.

At the 2010 census, Campbell's 1,992 residents lived in 799 households, making it Dunklin County's third most populous community at the time.
