There are like 4 springfields in the US.... they always go to places that are close to a springfield... when they went to Las Vegas and got married to the waitresses for example...

The joke is that Springfield is the name most used for a city in the US. Well, that's what I've been told, but then again, the men with the white suits could be wrong of course ...

Here are two things that make it impossible.

In many episodes it snows. There are a lot of snowing equipment, so snowing is quite common.

In the episode where Marge is afraid to go out of the house (and latter gets all bulked up), she overcomes her fear by running out of the house and picking a lemon out of a tree.

Anyone who has ever been to a place hot enough to grow lemons (Arizona, California) knows that there is no way that it would snow at all.

Therefore, Sprinfield is obviously a mobile city (hey, it moved once, remember?).

Springfield, CO
Springfield, IL
Springfield, MA
Springfield, MN
Springfield, MO
Springfield, OH
Springfield, OR
Springfield (Effingham County), GA
Springfield (Fairfax County), VA


I always guessed Massachusetts, also. Someone mentioned the Mayor's accent.. but, also the episode where they are going to Captial City. I always associated Captial City with New York, and since Springfield Ma, is near New York.........

Okay, i lie. the real reason is cause I'm from Mass.
hehe

I remember in one epsiode that they went on a trip to another state. When they got back they said that they were banned from every state but two and homer said that one of them sucks, so the went to the other one. By process of elimination you could determine which state they live in. Sorry but I don't remember anything more about the episode.

I was wondering if it would be easy to narrow down the choices and pic states with nuclear power plants and dams but i don't think the writers knew exactly what state springfield is in when it first started. I do know for sure that starting from year 8, they picked a state and starting dropping hints.

This whole investigation is driving me nuts but I'll find it a post it with all the evidence once i find out.

I think i got it. First, it's not a mobile city. At the end of the episode when the simpsons went to brazil, lisa asked us if we found out what state they are in-- then said there are clues.

secondly, in the episdoe when homer was getting replicated in the hammack, some army general showed how fast homer would replicate, and showed a map of what looks like OHIO.

So if anyone has that episode on Tivo or eventually gets it on DVD, slow-mo that scene.

Lastly, there might be a flaw in that theory. Lisa said that branon, MI was 1000 miles away from springfield.

Anyone got some other clues?

I say California since that's where the show is written.
