Joseph Campbell and Abraham Anderson founded the Anderson & Campbell Preserve Company in Camden, New Jersey in 1869, initially producing canned tomatoes, vegetables, jellies, soups, condiments, and minced meats. Arthur Dorrance became general manager in 1894, and in 1897 his nephew John T. Dorrance invented condensed soup, reducing water content and dramatically lowering shipping and retail costs.

The Dorrance family became the controlling family of Campbell Soup Company through the twentieth century and remains a significant shareholder today.

The company's expansion into snacks accelerated with the 2010 acquisition of Snyder's-Lance, which brought multiple snack brands into the portfolio. The 2023 acquisition of Rao's Homemade for approximately $2.7 billion is the company's largest single-brand purchase and its biggest bet on premium positioning.

The Campbell's Company publishes annual corporate responsibility reports and has committed to science-based emissions reduction targets. The company has goals around sustainable agricultural sourcing for tomatoes (a key ingredient across multiple brands), packaging sustainability, and food waste reduction.
