Discover Campbellton

Campbellton, near the Alabama line in Jackson County, has been a settlement since about 1840 or earlier. It may be named for Judge R. L. Campbell, a county resident, or for two families who camped in the area. Its church is even older: Bethlehem Missionary Church was founded on March 12, 1825, with 20 charter members, and in 1826 the congregation bought ten acres for $50 for a church and a public school. Landowners, enslaved people and the poor all worshipped there. The present wooden building dates from 1858, the church was renamed Campbellton Baptist Church in 1859, and according to its marker it has existed longer than any other Baptist church in Florida.

More about Campbellton

During the Civil War the nearby Forks of the Creek Swamp along the Alabama border sheltered Unionists and deserters from both sides; Joseph Sanders, a former Confederate officer who had joined the Union army, hid there for four months in 1864 before leading an unsuccessful attack on Newton, Alabama. On September 26, 1864, local Confederate cavalry under Captain Alexander Goodwin tried and failed to stop the Federal column of General Alexander Asboth here, in the opening phase of what became the Battle of Marianna. Campbellton was officially incorporated as a town in 1925. Its school's basketball team, the Wildcats, won state Class C championships in 1958, 1959, 1960 and 1964.
