Campbell County was settled in 1736 and incorporated in 1782. Formed from Bedford County, the
county was named after Revolutionary War hero, General William Campbell who won fame in the 1780 Battle of King's Mountain. In 1784
Jeremiah Rust donated
fifty acres of his land to establish Rustburg as the county seat. Originally inhabited by the Monacan Indians and visited by explorers
as early as 1670, the earliest settlement in Campbell County was established in about 1736 at Hat Creek by a group of Scotch-Irish
pioneers from
Pennsylvania. Other towns in Campbell County are Altavista (1912) and Brookneal (1802). Lynchburg is nearby
but is an independent City.
