Campbelltown is a small, quiet place in Indiana, United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Patoka Township in Pike County.

A Look Back: Campbelltown's History

Campbelltown got its name a long time ago to honor a special person named Samuel Campbell. He was a "pioneer merchant," which means he was one of the first business owners in the area. This was when the region was still very new and developing. People back then often named places after important early settlers or founders. That's how Campbelltown got its name!
