The Kiwanis Club of Old Campbell proudly takes it name from Campbell County, Georgia, which existed from 1828 through 1931.  Campbell County was formed by an act of the Georgia Legislature December 20, 1828 taking land from Carroll, Coweta, DeKalb, and Fayette Counties.  In 1832 land from the Cherokee Land Lottery was added, for a total to about 192 square miles.  The northwestern half of Campbell (and a bit more of Carroll) became Douglas County in 1870, divided on 17 October at the Chattahoochee River.  The remainder of Campbell County was ceded to Fulton at the end of 1931, along with Milton County, to save money during the Great Depression.
Campbell County was named in honor of Colonel Duncan G. Campbell.  He and James Meriwether negotiated the Indian Springs Treaty in which the Creek Indian land was ceded on February 12, 1825.  The County seat was Campbellton until 1870.  It was then moved to Fairburn where it remained for the life of the county.

The club was formed thanks mainly to the hard work of Past Georgia District Governor Bob Jackson, and the 2007 - 2008 Georgia District Governor Mick Maguire.  Both Bob and Mick are charter members of the club.

The Club sponsors a Key Club at Creekside High School in Fairburn and a K-Kids Club at Liberty Point Elementary School in Union City.
