There are plenty of theories that people have, and why not come to the smartest people on the internet for their clues as to where the actual springfield that the simpsons reside in actually is?

Heres something that throws me off.. the quote "West springfield is 3x bigger than texas!" - HOW CAN THAT BE??

Also, theres an episode where you see springfield is on a coast (Pulling a homer episode) and another episode that gives you clues is an episode that ends with the Simpsons crossing off all the states that they're banned from, and a map is marked with all the X's except 2 states, which of those 2 states is it?

HELP US FIND OUT!

It's a fictional place, it's not anywhere.

It doesn't really have a set location

Not to mention that the in-city geography changes between stories. For example, the Simpsons' house has shown to be next to the Nuclear Plant's parking lot and a forest in different stories.

Nobody knows. If it's based on any real Springfield, then it's hard to find, because there are so many in the US.

Yea, but there's a Springfield in almost every state, not just Illinois. That's one of the reasons they chose that name for The Simpsons to live in. That way it couldn't ever be determined.

I could swear that in one episode they say which state they are in, but I can never remember which episode or where they said it was.

The author said he wanted it to represent Springfield Oregon. I don't know where it would really be anyways.

If it´s anywhere then it´s Illinois, because Shelbyville is next to it.

In the fact that they're like.. on other sides of the country? No, it doesn't really help all too much lol.

When they zoom into the place its illinois

When do they zoom in dan? Where? lol.

And it does exist, because Lisa says in the Hostage episode that it does exist and that there have been clues throughout the series to tell us where it is (She says it in the ep where they go to Brazil)

There's so many inconsistencies with the town and it's surroundings that it's impossible to determine where it is.

The truth is that isn't not supposed to be set anywhere. It's a fictional location.

That episode isn't stricly canon.

The director has said it's in "North Takoma" (or North Tacoma).

IT. IS. NOT. A. REAL. PLACE.

The episode you're all thinking about is either where Bart/Lisa says the location and it's muffled by a foghorn, or the one where Lisa says, "yeah, even we forget sometimes." (or similar.)

the location is fictional. it does NOT ACTUALLY EXIST

There are plenty of instances where they elude to the location of Springfield. They only do this as a joke because everyone's so curious about where Springfield is. None of it is serious.

This is all bullshit. The fact that they're hinting you along is also bullshit. They're just screwing with you. There is no such thing as the springfeild that the simpsons live in, however, there IS a springfeild. It's nothing much though, just a small area of farmland.
