It has been said that the set takes place in Oregon, in the town of Springfield. Matt Greoning grew up in Portland, Oregon, and its actually quite similar to the cartoon. Mayor Quimby, Ned Flanders, Milhouse Van Horton, and Reverend Lovejoy all have last names named after streets in Portland, and Evergreen Terrace is also a Portland street. Matt also went to a school quite similar to Springfield Elementary. NT is supposed to mean North Kentucky, since in "Behind the Laughs" they say that the Simpsons are a Northern Kentucky family, but the set is in Oregon. *they dont say that its in Oregon, thats just what its like*.
