Renowned agricultural country town, Campobello di Licata stands out for the production of grapes, almonds, and olives. Sheep farms are flourishing. Handcrafted wood and paper objects are typical.

The name Campobello was attributed to the town because of the soil's conspicuous fertility.

The suburb was founded in 1681, when the Duke of Montalbo Raimondo Ramondetta achieved the "licentia populandi" from Carlo II of Spain. In 1812, the town became independent as the feudal rights were abolished.

The most relevant monuments are the Chiesa Madre, dedicated to S. Giovanni Battista and erected during the XVIII century, with a characteristic baroque facade, and the Chiesa dell'Addolorata, that goes back to the XVIII century.
