How Campbell began
Campbell began in 1902 as East Youngstown, a company town the Youngstown Iron Sheet and Tube Company built beside a new steel plant on the Mahoning River, and incorporated as a village in 1908. On January 7, 1916, a wage strike at the plant turned violent when company-hired guards fired into a crowd of picketers on Wilson Avenue, killing three and touching off a riot that burned nearly one hundred business blocks and homes before two thousand National Guard troops restored order; the company rebuilt the town afterward with modern worker housing, including what became known as the first prefabricated concrete home development in the world. Wanting to leave the riot's name behind, the town was renamed Campbell in 1926 to honor company president James Anson Campbell. Greek and Italian immigrant steelworkers filled the rebuilt town's churches, earning it the nickname "City of Churches," and Campbell shared fully in the Mahoning Valley steel industry's collapse after the Campbell Works closed on Black Monday, September 19, 1977.
Settled 1902 (Youngstown Iron Sheet and Tube Company builds its plant and the surrounding company town of East Youngstown), platted 1902-1908, incorporated Village, 1908 (as East Youngstown); renamed Campbell and later became a city, by Youngstown Iron Sheet and Tube Company; renamed for company president James Anson Campbell.
Where the name comes from
First named East Youngstown for its location just southeast of Youngstown, the town was renamed Campbell in 1926 to honor James Anson Campbell, president of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company during the town's founding -- a renaming that also let the community distance itself from the notorious 1916 riot associated with the East Youngstown name.
Before the town
No Native American village, trail, or site specific to Campbell is documented in the sources consulted; the town did not exist before 1902. The area lies within the Connecticut Western Reserve, land ceded by the Wyandot, Ottawa, Chippewa, Munsee, Delaware, Shawnee, and Potawatomi in the 1805 Treaty of Fort Industry.
Timeline
- — The Youngstown Iron Sheet and Tube Company builds a new steel plant on the Mahoning River and the company town of East Youngstown around it.
- — East Youngstown incorporates as a village.
- — A wage strike begins December 27 at Youngstown Sheet and Tube amid wartime prosperity but a recent 9 percent wage cut; unskilled laborers earn about 19.5 cents an hour.
- — On January 7, company-hired guards fire into a crowd of strikers and family members gathered on Wilson Avenue, killing three and injuring at least 27; the enraged crowd burns company offices and then loots and destroys nearly 100 business blocks and residences before 2,000 National Guard troops restore order.
- — In the riot's aftermath, Youngstown Sheet and Tube rebuilds East Youngstown with modern worker housing that includes electricity and indoor plumbing, credited as among the first prefabricated concrete home developments in the world.
- — East Youngstown is renamed Campbell, honoring company president James Anson Campbell.
- — Youngstown Sheet and Tube abruptly closes its Campbell Works on September 19, "Black Monday," furloughing 5,000 workers across Campbell and neighboring communities.
Stories
The riot that renamed a town
East Youngstown in January 1916 was a company town on edge: unskilled steelworkers at Youngstown Sheet and Tube earned about 19.5 cents an hour, had recently taken a 9 percent wage cut, and had been on strike since December 27 demanding 25 cents an hour and time-and-a-half overtime. On January 7, a crowd of strikers and their families gathered on Wilson Avenue at the plant's north gate to keep replacement workers out; accounts differ on whether rocks or gunfire came first, but company-hired guards fired into the crowd, killing three people and wounding at least 27 more. The shooting broke the strike's discipline entirely -- workers stormed company offices looking for blacklists, and the anger spread into the business district, where looting and arson destroyed nearly 100 blocks of buildings and homes, more than a million dollars in losses, before 2,000 Ohio National Guard troops arrived to restore order. The company announced a wage increase to 22 cents an hour within hours of the violence, then rebuilt the town with modern concrete worker housing. A decade later, in 1926, the community changed its name from East Youngstown to Campbell, honoring company president James Anson Campbell and, just as pointedly, leaving the old name and its riot behind.
