Campbell is a city in Santa Clara County, California, part of Silicon Valley, in the San Francisco Bay Area. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 38,138. Although not a major high-tech city like many of its neighbors, Campbell is the original home of eBay and of its creator, Pierre Omidyar.

Campbell is home to the Pruneyard Shopping Center, a sprawling open-air retail complex. Pruneyard was involved in a famous U.S. Supreme Court case that established the extent of the right to free speech in California. The associated Pruneyard Towers, built in 1970, was for many years the tallest building between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Points of interest: In the early 1990s, the Ainsley House, a unique craftsman home built in the 1930s, was moved from its original site at the corner of Hamilton and Bascom Avenues (the current site of Ebay's headquarters) to the downtown quad and furnished with many of the Ainsley family's original furnishings. It has become the centerpiece for the Campbell Historical Museum, which houses additional exhibits in the nearby old firehouse. The Ainsley House was built in the style of English country cottages for John Colpitts Ainsley, a canning pioneer in Santa Clara County, which was at the time known for its vast spreads of fruit orchards.
