Not far away from New York? I doubt that; in a way. They seem to be near every other place in the US. There's for example the episode where Moe decides to take all his regulars for a part trip to Las Vegas but Homer can't come along because he first has to drop off Bart on a boys camp for disobedients, then he's going to drive and catch up with Moe and the rest. That certainly implies they must live near Nevada too, no?
That's been my guess for quite sometime now, because I know they don't live that far away New York, or at least it is implied...Also, I think if you follow the clues, you need to find a state with the death penalty. I'm from Canada and I really don't know many of the states all that well in all honesty.
He was dropping bart off in Oregon only after bart wasnt able to board the airplane... Oregon isnt all that far from Nevada.. when compared to NY to Nevada. Remember the Ms. Plopwells episode where they said the grand prize was a trip to Hawaii... then changed that to Hartford CT? I cant recall any other time Connecticut was mentioned... Nearly every other state was mentioned and bashed. Florida.. .americas wang; Massachusetts.. Taxachusettes; plus MANY others. Also.. if youve ever watched Futurama, theres an episode where they follow Beck around in their VW van... They show an ariel map of the US... start their tour from?? Good Ol' Connecticut (bridgeport area actually) so groening has some attraction to Connecticut, at least in my opinion anyways.
Holy crap. you people are f*&king morons! It was A MAP. Thats how i know. I know what the coast line of connecticut looks like. AND the start position of the map was at the mouth of the f*&king housatonic river and Long Island Sound. It would be hard to confuse mass. for ct on a map. You my friend are probably the stupidest person ive encountered this year. Congrats! Please, dont reply to my posts w/ nonsensical dribble, it's quite annoying.
Homer and ned drove to vegas in less than a day, there was a prize trip to ct, theres no springfield in ct or electric chair. And there's no reason to bee a jack*ss
It was Springfield Missouri. In the episode where the Simpsons get a sattelite, the beam is coming from the middle of the U.S. so it can't be Massachusettes. And in the news paper, there was a poll on whether the Simpsons were from Illinois or Missouri (Missouri won). So there you have it.
I collected info this summer (2007) to figure it out. I came up with Utah, just south of Salt Lake City. But then there was the area code episode. I think it was 636 (?). Any way, the area code was from Missouri. I was disappointed. That clue was tooooo easyyy.... (insert frowny face here)
no it cant be Missouri...remember in 'homer badman' where he peeled the gummi Venus off the babysitters butt and was accused of social harassment? In that, Grandpa puts up a flag with fewer stars, and says, "I'll be deep in the cold ground before i recognise Missouri". But, perhaps that reinforces its truth, could be an ironic statement...anyway, there's my two cents.
i dont think so, in lisa gets an A, superintendant chalmers says that the school was voted most delapidated in all of missouri, and then lisa and skinner look in disbelief, and then chalmers says thats why it was shut down and moved here brick by brick
its not Connecticut. Marge asks lisa what she is doing in the "nutmeg state". that is connecticut. She wouldnt be asking and being surprised if they all already lived there.
I'm watching the episode right now where they zoom out from there home. It's obviously one of the states next the west side of the great lakes. I think it is as simple as Illinois. Here's the link:
Springfield isn't in a state. It is supposed to represent a collaboration of all American states. This has been explained time and time again. It's fun to guess, but don't get so uptight about something created specifically to not be real. (as evidence- the state flag, the state motto, the surrounding towns, the street names, the references to the bordering states which are on opposite corners of the country). Calm down

It IS Missouri. In the episode where Homer starts the security company Springshield, the phone number in the commercial in the show has the area code 636, which is Missouri's.
It can't be missouri because in one episode chalmers says that the school was the worst school in missouri until it was dismantled brick by brick and moved to springfield. Sorry. I think it's in illinois.
in the episode where homer and bart drive to the outward bound school he says " i bet their from massachusetes. did you know its legal there to marry your son?"

HOW DO YOU KNOW IT WAS BRIDGEPORT? DID THE MAP SAY BRIDGEPORT? IT WAS PROBABLY SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS!

I know what you mean but Bart wants to RUNAWAY to Utah so I think Missouri it is

There is an episode where they say specifically that springfield is 1000 miles away from branson, missouri. That is a a big clue no?
its not Connecticut. Marge asks lisa what she is doing in the "nutmeg state". that is connecticut. She wouldnt be asking and being surprised if they all already lived there.

In reruns they change the state they're from
