One question that popped up yesterday was pretty interesting:

What state do the Simpsons live in?

Post your own comment
no-name

you guys its obvious they live in every state or not a state at all...some episodes they are near a beach.sometimes they arent.it all depends were you want and think they should be.

monkeybutt2000

Omg that is so deep I never thought of it that way! :)

billy

it is in Henderson, Nevada, where they live

Anonymous

i think it UTAH

Ben

it cant be utah cuz in the episode where homer gets cable bart watches an adult program where they say it is showing in every state except for florida and utah

billy

the movie comes out in july, i saw the previews...whatever state it is it borders maine, ohio, kentucky, and didn't catch the other state...?? i'm lost now..no idea

THEY LIVE IN ILLINOIS...I LIVE 6 HOURS FROM SPRINGFIELD, AND WE HAVE SHELBYVILLE RIGHT NEXT TO IT....SUCK THAT U SUCKERS

I LIVE IN SPRINGFIELD, MASS AND NO SHELBYVILLE...BUT WE DO HAVE KRUSTY BURGERS!

well in the newest trailer for the upcoming movie Mr.Flanders states: "look at the four states that border springfield Ohio, Nevada, Maine and Kentucky" now, i dont know if that was a joke but I'm just waaaaayyyyyy to lazy to look it up.

curt

in the episode liza goes to washingnton , it shows a map that fades out behind lisa as she reads an essay. if you pause the dvd player just right you can see that the spimpsons live in Springfeild , NT, or the fictional state known as Northern Takoma. It also shows that Springfield borders on four states, just some clues.

Anthony

If you watch the episode in season 7 titled "bad neighabors" were George Bush Sr. Moves to Springfield lisa states that this was one of the 9 states that george bush claims residency in, so therefore we need to find out the 9 states that George Bush Sr. claims residency in and find all the ones with a "springfield"

Dstrick

i'm really sorry because i don't normally like to insult people because everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but, this is the stupidest thing i have ever seen! Come on! Your all squabbling over the whereabouts of a place that doesn't exist. they chose springfield because its the most common city name in the country(probably). When you add up all the clues, you get nowhere. All of you are buffet debaters. You pick and choose the clues that you want to use, and ignore the ones that don't support your theories. the Simpsons is a CARTOON! It is not real. Neither is springfield. If you'll just look at the episode with ardie ziff, where homer goes into west springfield, you should remeber when Lisa remarked "West Springfield is twice the size of Texas!" Lisa doesn't exaggerate. So, in all your infinite wisdom, tell me, where is their a springfield twice the size of texas, NOWHERE!

Simpson come from Illinois today i watched an episode when Homer is elected has sanitary city manager or whatever and at the end to get money he says we taking the garbage of the cities around and there is a garbage truck with Chicago written on. Also it can be a south city because they have lot of snow in springfield during xmas

also, the Simpsons drive to Vermont and New York, not far from Springfield, MA

Ok, I believe that the Simpsons definitely live in Springfield, Massachusetts. First of all, the Simpsons couldn't be from Springfield, IL because it is the capital of that state and the Simpsons visit Capitol City where they live. Also, there is no Springfield, Connecticut, so the next closest bet would be neighboring MA. Here are some more reasons why the Simpsons live in MA.
-Mayor Quimby has a Boston accent, and is the spitting image of MA senator Ted Kennedy.
-More on that note, when on "The Tonight Show" Dan Castellaneta made a reference to some unnamed MA politician when voicing Mayor Quimby.
-In one episode it talks about the Springfield Armory, also in Springfield, MA
-There is a Springfield University where the Simpsons live, maybe a reference to Springfield College
-The Simpsons' Springfield was settled in 1796, before the Westward expansion, eliminating any possibility of it being west of the Mississippi River/Appalachian Mts.
-There are snow covered mountains in Springfield, MA- MT. Tom
-In one episode, Bart gets a credit card, gives Krusty a check in hopes of him signing it, gets the check back with a stamp on it, brings it to the bank(and so on) it shows the current time in many locations, including Washington & the Cayman Islands, all of which are 2:00ish, so they are on the East Coast!
***ONE OF THE SHOW'S PRODUCERS, MIKE SCULLY, IS FROM WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA yet another connection
-Since Springfield is HAS to be on the East coast, MA has is cold/snowy in the winter and can get brutally hot in the winter, demonstrated in many episodes
-the Simpson’s drive to New York City and Vermont in some episodes, not to far from MA.
-when Moe brings the bar people to Nevada, he gets a special bus, maybe because it is so far away.


I am sure there are many more ways to prove that this is Springfield, MA but I have written so much I HAVE to stop now. Feel free to reply to this and give me your feedback!

FIRST OF ALL I LIVE IN SPRINGFIELD, MA...I AGREE WITH YOU BECAUSE...YES THERE IS AN ARMORY, AND A POWER PLANT, IT IS COLD HERE, WE HAVE MNT'S ALL OVER THE PLACE, THERE IS A WEST SPRINGFIELD, SHELBYVILLE CAN BE CONSIDERED PALMER, THE BRADLEY AIRPORT IN HARTFORD RESEMBLES THE ONE ON THE SIMPSONS REMARKEBLY, BOSTON IS THE CAPITOL, BUT CAPITOL CITY..HMM, NO IDEA?? MAYBE BOSTON, YALE IS IN CT, WHICH LISA TALKS ABOUT ALL THE TIME, THE DOWNTOWN AREA HERE LOOKS SIMILIAR TO THAT SPRINGFIELD, WHICH THE SIMPSONS LIVE, SO YEAH..I THINK MASSACHUSETTS.

anonymous

but in one episode there in adesert called the springfeild badlands

Martin

i can't believe no one said anything about the Springfield radio station KBBL... all radio stations with call letters starting with a "K" are west of the Mississippi River, East of the Mississippi radio station call letters start with "W". Oregon seems suitable enough....

scott

vincent price is from missouri and hes commonly reffered to in the simpsons and in one episode i cant remember which one but in the city of springfield they run by a river and there is an old missouri boat going through the river and also there is a springfield that borders shelbyville

meria

I THINK SPRINGFIELD IS A BLEND OF PLACES, FIRST OF ALL IN ONE EPISODE, YOU SEE PALM TREES IN SHELBYVILLE, BUT SNOW IN SPRINGFIELD????
I NOTICED THE CITY IS VERY SMALL, SO IT COULD EVEN BE A SMALL TOWN, PROBABLY BASED SOMEWHERE NEVER GUESSED.
I AM BEGINNING TO THINK CANADA OR SOMEWHERE IN NEW ENGLAND.

Phil

You know that the simpsons cant live in New york because there is one episode where they go to new york. The other episode where bart is a boyscout, they went in the ocean with flanders and got stranded. They had a Krusty the clown map and it showed a resturant by the east coast where they were stranedid. So you know that they live on the east coast so I would guess Virginia.

i can't believe i just read every %^(*$%(^ one of these posts! i'm such a loser

Maryann

one of the reasons I think the Simpsons live in Missouri or Illinois is When Areosmith plays at Meo's(i think) Steven says Hello Saint Louis, and Joe says um Steven Its Springfield, and Steven says oh right. And yeah in 1 show they were going to take a day trip to Branson Missouri W/ grandpa.

Rachael

I am positive they are from conneticut because inthe episode where homer wants to take revenge and each marge, lisa and bart share a story about revenge, at the end they say, "we have something in common: we are both from connecticut."

awesome-o

If you look on the intro where it zooms out on the map, there is a lake connecting to a river, which may be the water used in the show

Jim

I didn't feel like reading through all of your comments so forgive me if someone already posted this. But the Simpsons live in Springfield Michigan. Note the intro where the familys sitting on the couch and the camera pans out into space, the solar system, aliens...etc, then to dna strands and everything is within homers head. watch it in slow motion...when you frame it out you can clearly see the outline of lake Huron (which they colored green so it wouldnt be as obvious). Go to google earth or maps and type in Springfield Michigan. its in the exact location. The lake and river which are represented in the opening credits(the curved L-shape) is also on the satellite image. There's also a Shelbyville michigan directly west of Springfield. I'm not sure if there is a nuclear power plant there...but that could be explained by the writers determining where the characters lived after season 1. Case closed

Jim

Heres the intro I'm talking about. The best way to see it is dowloading google earth.

I say they live in Virginia based on the clues.

Homer

The Simpsons live in an interdimensional rift, in an alternate universe where all Springfields come together in space and time.

Scott reiner

Must be it

Ok Illinois sounds good to me....but i have always thought it would be Massachusetts, just a couple of reasons....I-95, and look at the mayor come on now you can sooo tell he is a Kennedy... and where are they from? MASSACHUSETTS.....

there is an I-95 near portland ORegon Dumshit, the simpsons are from oregon

Today's brand new episode - "stop. or My Dog Will Shoot!" they go into a corn maze and get lost. HOmer starts throwing Lisa in the air to figure out where the exit is and on one of the throws she sees the Seattle Space Needle. Washington State?

Did anyone see a couple of weeks ago after House there was like a 10 second com. and it showed the Simpsons house and what looked like Lat and Long. lines?

Zach

If you watch beginning clip where the camera zooms out of the united states from the Simpson's house you can clearly see it's either Illinois or Ohio. Of course it can't be Illinois because Springfeild Illinois is the capital city and the Springfeild in the Simpsons isn't the capital city. Ohio is where the Simpsons live. In one of episodes Marge is on the phone and the person on the other line asks what state they live in, before Marge says the state Mod walks in and Marge says "Oh'hi'ya Mod" clearly saying "Ohio" as a hint.

Zach

Actually because I think the Simpsons try to confuse you with fake clues I think it's between Massachusetts, Michigan and Ohio. I think we can agree it's not Illinois because it's not a capital.

evie

Well im not very good at working out any of this since im english, i know most of the names of the u.s states but i couldnt really tell u anything about them, anyway, i found this on wikipedia:

David Silverman, a director for the Simpsons, has claimed that Springfield is in the fictional state of "North Tacoma" (or "North Takoma"). This is substantiated by the state abbreviations NT and TA used within the show. However, this has never been officially confirmed in any canonical episode of The Simpsons or by other Simpsons producers. And on Homer's Driver License the state is NT and the zip code is 49007, which is a Kalamazoo, Michigan

i wonder if the simpsons will ever let it out :)

The Simpsons says they live in 1 of the 9 states that former President Bush resided in, but I think they live in Oregon or CA because Matt Groening was born in Oregon.

No one has said far the far east side of Texas , like Galveston , or just by there ,, in Kema. there are signs all over there about realtors being #1 on the east side , ( like Cookie Quan) and Hank Hill came to a game once _ Huh , huh ? and there is always that crazy Texan guy shouting _ YE HAWW and shooting his gunns. Texas has a death penalty ,Beaches, huricanes , and when Homer went into space... "Houston " right there; " we have a problem. When Apu Became very American , he adopted a very thick Texan accent and doned a big cowboy hat. and when homer wore a camera to spy on Apu , another big cowboy hat. HMMMMMmmmmmmm

THEY LIVE LESS THAN 100MILES FROM A HICK TOWN THEY CALL SPRINKLES JIMMMIES

Amos

I just saw i rerun of the simpsons. the episode is called behind the laughter and at the end of the episode it clearly states that they live in northern kentucky. i did some research and there is a springfeild in northern kentucky.

Tony

IT'S MISSOURI...

1st- There is a Shelbyville that borders Springfield there.

2nd- On the episode where Homer becomes Chief of Police, and the episode where the town gets 2 area codes, the area code is 636, a Missouri area code... Ta Da.

Curious

Can I just ask.. is this issue really that important? I mean, I was kind of curious as to which state they live in so I took 5 minutes to look it up on the net when I stumbled upon such rigorous, self righteous, and often plain offensive debate on this site. I mean, really.. why do you people care so much? Have any of you considered the fact that maybe, just maybe, there is no answer. Perhaps it's just a running joke and you should just accept that that's all it is. Believing you know some kind of hidden truth about a cartoon show (of all things!) that somehow in your tiny mind elevates your cultural or social standing in view of the peers you so desperately long to impress demonstrates only your deep-seated superiority complex amid the context of the life you wish you had. Let it go. It's just a cartoon. Go outside. Create... Inspire... Breathe... Live life. Stop wasting everybody's time debating subjects that are of no relevance to anyone or anything. Please. Knowing what state the Simpsons live in certainly won't get you laid.

I am sure they live in Kentucky. Not only did they say it in "Behind the Laughter", but their is a Simpsonville, Kentucky, and that is only a few miles from Shelbyville, Kentucky.

mic

im just a simpson fan. been watchin since i was lil.
in the starting where the universe is in the atoms of homers head.
they zoom out from springfield and look at the u.s. and if you match it to a map it definitely looks like kentucky.
not saying thats my conclusions just somtin to add.

Anonymous

I think Anonymous is the creator of the Simpson's AKA Matt.

rene

What about NEW JERSEY? In the "Mother Simpson" episode, where Homer discovers his mom is still alive, Homer thinks Walt Whitman's tomb stone is his mother's. In reality, Walt Whitman is buried at Harleigh Cemetary in Camden, New Jersey. Also, in the "Stark Raving Dad" episode, Leon (the man who acts like Michael Jackson) says, "I'm a bricklayer from Paterson, New Jersey." In the "Two Bad Neighbors" episode, the Simpsons live near George Bush Sr... who has resided in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Maine and New Jersey. In the "The Wizard Of Evergreen Terrace" episode, Homer and Bart drive to the Edison's Menlo Park Laboratory in New Jersey. In "The Mansion Family", Springfield Nuclear Power Plant's cooling towers are visible from international waters, twelve miles off the coast of America. Plus, Springfield Nuclear Power Plant is on Interstate 95, which runs along the east coast of the USA from Florida all the way through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Hampshire to Maine. There are several episodes which hint to the Simpsons living near water on the east coast... similar to the characteristics of New Jersey (as well as surrounding states). There is a ship deporting immigrants, a beach, lighthouse and a bridge similar to the Memorial Bridge located in Springfield, Massachusettes. However, I don't think they live in Massachusetts because Homer yells at Sideshow Bob, "Go back to Massachusetts, pinko!" in the "Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming" episode. Of course, there is also the similar-looking Vachel Lindsay Memorial Bridge found in Springfield, Illinois. Thus, continuing the confusion!

rene is a dumb mother fucker

rene you are a dumb oiece of shit who obviously does not know the simpsons. there is an I-95 near portland OREGON and matt g was born in oregon.

anonymous

Not only is it mentioned in an episode that they live in Kentucky and the fact that there is a Simpsonville in Kentucky, it is also msentioned in the song "Canyonero" that "it's the Kentucky fried truck endorsed by a clown."

JJTG89

Although I personally think it's every Springfield in the USA the closest place I'd say would be Springfield, IL. I've lived in springfield for 18 years, I'm probably a little biased in my decision but there are a lot of things the point towards it. There is a shelbyville nearby, we have a powerplant, and there was a Nuclear Power Plant that was shut down awhile back due to poor management. We have a dam right near the power plant. We have a Lake Springfield, there is an Evergreen Terrace in Springfield. As far as "They don't live in Springfield, because they say they're going to visit the Capital City and the city is the Capital", well the suburbs are where they are, and I live in the suburbs. I always say lets go to the city when I'm out there, and so do the majority of people I know. There is also a bar named Joe's near where I live (I don't know if that's a play on Moe's). We live near The Great Lakes. Our Sheriff has always been a moron, we had a corrupt Governor George Ryan (and a new one Rod Blagoia-nobody-gives-a-fuck). People have said it's Connecticut because of I-95, well I-95 runs through Sprinfield, IL too, actually it runs a half mile near where I live. Also something my cousin brought up at a family reunion I don't know if it really means something or not, but Jebediah Sprinfield was the person who was supposed to found Springfield, and Abraham Lincoln was a big factor in the history of our town. Both of their last names are used for well know towns, I dunno I thought it was interesting. We have a Zoo in Springfield, anyways I'm still a little groggy I just woke up, I hope this helps.

Furious George

They don't live in Connecticut because the episode with Scorpio. Scorpio said to look him up if he was ever on the east coast. Implying that they don't live on the east coast

The winner will be determined by your votes on USATODAY.com in early July. Voting ends July 9, and the winning city will be announced on or around July 10.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO JOIN IN!!

Why Should We Win?:

-Springfield Mass has the Memorial Bridge, it has the river that exactly matches the overhead shot of the Simpson's Springfield.
-Spfld,MA has an Armory, Springfield Country Club,an East Springfield and West Springfield, a Christian Science Center,
-The writer that wrote the episode where Bart shoplifted the videogame based that episode on his own experience shoplifting from Child World in Springfield MA,
-"Last Exit to Springfield" where they draw Mr. Burns like the Grinch- Springfield, Ma home of Dr. Suess
-Mayor Quimby definitely sounds like he's from Boston, Massachusetts, sounds like a Kennedy family member
-And we just as dysfunctional too
-the said Springfield,ma in an old episode
-they mention boston and connecticut alot
Springfield, MA, "The city of Homes" is the "Home of Homer!!!!"

PLEASE VOTE AND IF WE WIN WE WILL HAVE "THE SIMPSONS MOVIE" premiere at the Hippodrome and put Springfield,MA on the map!! Let them know that its not Springfield,IL...not Springfield,KY...MO...or TN...or VA......let em kno!

EVER NOTICE THAT MAYOR QUIMBY KINDA HAS A BOSTON ACCENT???
"SPRINGFIELD CIVIC CENTER"
"TASTE OF SPRINGFIELD"

C'MON, ITS DEFINITELY MASSACHUSETTS! ONLY WE SAY THAT!

Springfield Massachusetts! The 19th most dangerous city to live in two years in a row! (Ok, one year it was 18th). The cops are also about as dumb as the three in fake Springfield. It has pollution, the schools are so bad that I think the state came in to run them, burning tires lots, and the old mayor of the town was stealing from the city just like the Simpsons Springfield! I think we are to win then!

Most of the people in "Springfield" have New England accents- Mayor Quimby, Moe, Lenny and Carl, Barney, Chief Wiggum, the other two cops, etc

Springfield, MA, was the first Springfield - the original - founded in the 1700s. Another little known fact, Mike Skully, the writer for the show, was born and raised in West Springfield, MA - just over the bridge from the soon-to-be Homertropolis.

Springfield,MA has the Memorial Bridge, the Armory, the Springfield Country Club, the Kennedy's, Cheers (where Homer drove to one night) Dr Suess, and the river that matches the overhead shot of the show exactly
springfield MA because when the simpsons go to japan homer doesnt want to eat at the table shaped like the state where he lives. complaining about taxes possibly.
when on "The Tonight Show" Dan Castellaneta made a reference to some unnamed MA politician when voicing Mayor Quimby.
-In one episode it talks about the Springfield Armory, also in Springfield, MA
-There is a Springfield University where the Simpsons live, maybe a reference to Springfield College
-The Simpsons' Springfield was settled in 1796, before the Westward expansion, eliminating any possibility of it being west of the Mississippi River/Appalachian Mts.
-There are snow covered mountains in Springfield, MA- MT. Tom
-In one episode, Bart gets a credit card, gives Krusty a check in hopes of him signing it, gets the check back with a stamp on it, brings it to the bank(and so on) it shows the current time in many locations, including Washington & the Cayman Islands, all of which are 2:00ish, so they are on the East Coast!

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*.

Springfieldian

my vote is for Springfield, Missouri, because there is a very "Mr. Burns" like character there named John Q. Hammons. He is filth rich and owns the majority of the town. He even has a statue of himself near the city center! I can't wait for the movie...maybe it will provide more clues?

robbie

Has anyone ever seen the prieview for the simpsons movie in it on some pre views it says the 4 states that boarded springfield when i heard it i couldnt write all of them down fast enough so i am guessing if u see the preview and get the states you will find out were springfield is

robbie

has any one seen the previews for the simpsons mopvie in it it states the 4 states that surround springfield when i heard it i couldnt copy all of them down in time but my theory is either sum one brings sumthing to record or write them down with or we wait for the movie

The live in Illinos there is a homer lane a lisa lane and shelbyville there its by werter and it snows

Desten

The four states are Ohia Kentuckey and maine and ohio

Alex in California

i think its in illinios because politicians passed a bill or whatever that made springfield, illinios the official hoome of the simpsons.....check if you dont believe me.

Well it has to be by the water because they have a hurricane in an episode

Alex in California

how dissapointing.....the creators of the simpsons and the simpsons movie have made springfield, vermont the official home of the simpsons.......whats in vermont?...sucks for the people in illinios who passed the house resolution

KL...What??!!

You all are retarded. Its obvious that the towns are a compilation of different towns throughtout the North East. You just have to listen to te accents, veiw the styles. For crying out loud, Marge has an effin Jersey accent!!!!. Yeah, it really does not matter, but its obvious to me that the intention is for them to live somewhere on the East Coast. But I really doubt if it is supposed to be a specific city.

In halloween IX part 3, maggie sends a signal from the mexican gulf so it must be at the coast at the gulf or as they say in "Beyond the laughter" the commentator Says "this kentucky family..."

Stop This Madness!

^^^^ hah why would you believe what the commentators in "Beyond the laughter" say? anyways, no one here will ever find out where the simpsons live becuase it is just a fictional Springfield town, just look at the trailer for the new Simpsons Movie. Flanders explains to Bart their town is boarded by Nevada, Ohio, Kentucky, and Maine. Lets have someone here figure that one out.

PhantomD

In that one episode where lisa finds the truth behind jebediah springfield, their founder. She finds out he tried to kill George Washington. George Washinton died before the states grew from the 13 colonies. Maine, Mass. New Hampshire, Rhose Island, New York, Penn., Virginia, Deleware, Maryland, N and S Carolia,and Georgia are the only states who used to be apart of the 13 colonies.

Brian

Dude maine was not a original colonie u forgot new jersey

Nathan Kaufman

It's oregon. reason is, in one episode Lisa is collecting cans on the beach that are worth 5 cnts a piece. that narrows it down to less then 10 states. Then in that same episode the school had taken a field trip to Albany (very close to Springfield Oregon). Also the Simpsons have been kickd out of many states so that narrows it down even more. Lastly, it has to be west of the Mississippi because the radio station (kbbl) starts with a "K". Radio stations starting with K are west of the Mississippi, stations starting with "w" are east. I do believe there are a lot of contradicting facts on the show so if anyone has any thoughts, leave a message on my myspace www.myspace.com/natekaufman
Oh, and I guess Vermont won the springfield contest, I'm almost possitive thats not right.

peter

i am going to venture a guess here...

i think they live in virgina.

Amazing Flash

Okay well geographically it must be near an ocean near a desert near lush forests with lakes they must have a snowy winter and hot summers also it must have a airport that does intercontenetal flights.......does that narrow it down?

Magic Man

They live in the western part of the country - KBBL. I love how everybody voting for the east coast seemed to have overlooked that little factoid

Taylor.b.Nixon

well i think the simpsons live in a town called Seatle were Matt Growing grew up witch is in W.A i think this beacuse they have a rocky beatch a quorky mayor a monorail and the space nidel but to tell you the troth i don't think even the creators know were the Simpsons live.

in one episode an announcer identifies them as a northern kentucky family...

I know that the simpsons do not live on the coast. In the episode where Apu is threatened to be deported, Lisa asks him to identify his state. Bart's head pops up in the screen, blocking the exact location of their state. The east coast was visible, and Lisa was not pointing to a coast. She was pointing somewhere in the mid-west.

Okijima

Correct me if im wrong but on the episode where homer takes bart to behavior camp in oregon he tells moe he cant manke it because he has to take bart to a camp in oregon. Which means he doesnt live in oregon.
