One notable mention is found in the archives of the town of Albacete, where a family by the name of DELACAMPA owned a significant tract of farmland in the surrounding countryside.

The earliest recorded instance of the DELACAMPA surname can be traced back to the year 1542, when a Juan DELACAMPA was listed as a landowner in the village of Villarejo de Salvanés, near Madrid. It is possible that this Juan DELACAMPA may have been a farmer or a landowner who acquired the surname based on his association with the local fields or plains.

One example is the Italian artist and sculptor Antonio DELACAMPA (1627-1701), who was renowned for his intricate marble sculptures adorning churches and palaces in Rome and Naples.

In the 19th century, the DELACAMPA surname appeared in various records in Latin America, suggesting that members of the family may have migrated to the Americas during the Spanish colonial era.
