The subdivision's rich history is intertwined with the Campbell family. Lewis Campbell, an early settler in the area, purchased 160 acres in 1865 after retiring from the Hudson Bay Company. Together with John Leonard, they established the Campbell Ranch, which remained in the family for generations. In 1945, the ranch was sold and transformed into a hop farm for Molson Breweries.

Today, the streets of Campbell Creek are named after the park’s animals creating a connection between the community and its wildlife surroundings.
