    James Campbell (1830–1904) was a Scottish merchant of timber and other building products based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. He founded the hardware firm James Campbell and Sons. In Brisbane, Campbell established a business in George Street initially selling building materials imported from Sydney. Although that first venture failed, he started a new business City Lime, Cement and Plaster Stores on the corner of Creek and Charlotte Streets. Eventually, he was providing many of the materials needed for constructing buildings, including timber, bricks, cement, and pottery which were made locally, along with imported items. James Campbell had a sawmill at Creek Street in Brisbane. Logs were cut in the Blackall Range and upper Caboolture River and hauled to Mellum Creek from where they were rafted down the Pumicestone Passage to the Creek Street sawmill. In 1881, James Campbell decided to establish a sawmill on the Coochin Creek near the confluence with Mellum Creek, from where the sawn timber was transported to Brisbane, initially via sailing cutter and from 1883 by paddle steamer.[5] The township of Campbellville (26°52′28″S 153°02′16″E) of around 100 people developed around the sawmill.[6] There was a wharf with cranes and a provisional school and cemetery. Campbellville lasted until 1890 when the mill closed down. By that time, the North Coast railway line had made it easier to transport logs and timber by rail than by ship.[5] Eventually, Campbell owned sawmills at a number of locations in South-East Queensland and had a number of ships to carry the timber to his wharf and warehouse at Creek Street.[4] Campbell purchased a white sandstone quarry at Albion, Brisbane from John Petrie and built a brick and pottery works immediately north of Crosby Park.
