Austin, William M.
Campbellton was founded as the county seat of Campbell County around 1830. Campbellton had a couple thousand residents until Fairburn grew after the opening of the railroad. A Civil War battle was fought nearby (soldiers buried at a Methodist Church). By the 1870's the county seat moved to Fairburn and led to the disintigration of the town. Campbell County went bankrupt in the Depression and was consolidated into Fulton County.
