One of my favorite cities in the Silicon Valley is Campbell.
Campbell was founded by Benjamin Campbell, after whom the city was named. Campbell was officially incorporated as a city in 1952. The city then grew rapidly as orchard lands disappeared tract by tract.
Today, Campbell is a quiet suburban residential neighborhood in the southern part of the Santa Clara Valley.

The three musicians, introduced by Skip, began a relationship that would last for over twenty-five years.Campbell is situated in the southern portion of the Santa Clara Valley.
