I always guessed Massachusetts, because of the Mayor's accent. But of course, that's mostly just a connection between politics and the Kennedys.

You know it's going to be something stupid like "Ha ha all you idiots! They're really in Hawaii!" Although...

It's actually in Utah. Come out here to Utah and drive into the city "Springfield" and you'll see a bunch of billboards that read "Home of the simpsons".

I think the official location of Springfield is the United States. I think Springfield covers the entire USA. In episode DABF04 (Half Decent Proposal) Lisa comments that West Springfield is three times the size of Texas. That means that the rest of spingfield could cover the entire USA.

Matt Groening grew up in Springfield Oregon. It's right next door to Eugene. He also went to The Evergreen State College, in Olympia, WA (the same Univ. that Rachel Corrie went to). Anyway, he chose the name because it is so common, it is meant to be every city USA. I think we can all identify with it in our own way because he does blend a little bit of every US city into it.

That is also part of its appeal in that nobody can say "oh, those stupid ohioans, or oregonians or texans or whatever. I think we can rule out a few states though. Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming. Any others it wouldn't take place in?

There is a Springfield Ohio. It is just West of Toledo, approximately 7 or 8 miles south of the Ohio-Michigan state line. South of Springfield is Monclova Ohio, North of Springfield is Sylvania Ohio.

Any one ever notice how the Simpsons really like to make fun of my state (Delaware)?

Homer: The Simpsons are going to Delaware!
Lisa: I want to see Wilmington!
Bart: I want to visit a screen door factory!
