- What state is Springfield in? In this video I will reveal the location of the real Springfield. The Simpsons live in Springfield, but where is Springfield located? Do the Simpsons live in Oregon? Or do the Simpsons live in Illinois? In this episode of the Simpsons Theory I look at the true answer of Springfield's State.
Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, and the rest of the Simpsons characters live in Springfield. But what state do the simpsons live in. Some say The Simspons are from Oregon. But there are any more places The Simpsons could live in.

For everyone saying that Film Theory already covered this topic, I know! I literally address that in the video. This video offers some other points of view. Thanks! ✌️
I saw this and literally said to myself
Film theory did this, wouldn't it be cool if you got the same result
How has only 1 person commented on this comment and 7 people liked it and this vid is 5 days old!?!?
(edit)
This is also the pinned comment
ok I have a theory please make a video about this if you go to season 9 episode 19 at 2:46 they mention that spring field is in Lubbock texas but if you look at maps you'll see that there is a place named Springfield in Lubbock tx 79424 if you make a video about this can you shout me out?
Springfield is a teleporting city that goes to every other common city that’s name Springfield and temporary takes its place till it moves onto the next one that’s my theory!
I never knew that Film theory covered this
My personal theory is that Springfield _is_ in a specific state, but _which_ state it is varies from episode to episode depending on the needs of the plot.
If you can have an elastic timeline, makes sense you'd have elastic geography too
Once it said that I want to move away from hoagies a Pennsylvania (mostly philly) and then almost everyone else says it is in Oregon
Ah that is a good theory 😊😊😊👍😎.
Floating point geography
It’s in Oregon
I would love to visit a actual replica of the town of Springfield well at least we got it somewhat with universal studios
Google Simpsons Myrtle Beach 🙂
@@TheSimpsonsTheory looks cool
Great minds thing alike
Lol
Myrtle
"Where Springfield REALLY is!"
In our hearts. It was always in our hearts.
And Oregon
WELL SAID
@@TediousMilkshake LOL. I know. I went to the University of Oregon. The next town over from Eugene is Springfield.
Words well said
And Oregon because Matt Groening is from Portland
I like the part where Lydia talked about where springfield is
Springfield is located within one of Professor Farnsworth paraboxes. Now THAT"S a crossover
You win the Internet for today, that’s fucking genius
That actually makes some sense
Wow.
So if the box is inside bender, then everyone can easily get in and out of simpsorama
Maybe Professer Frink
Growing up in Oregon, I always thought it was cool how Matt Groening took inspiration from all over the state when designing Springfield
Same
Same
He’s from Portland so it’s makes sense.
Yeah I think they actually live in Oregon or right around Oregon.
I think they live in Oregon or somewhere around Oregon.
According to google. Springfield is located in Oregon. When the Simpson’s travel to Florida Lisa said “we just drove 2000 miles in 4 hours.”
its not accurate. Watch Season 24, episode 17. Timestamp 5 08 SPringfield zooms out showing the whole US, and springfields location. Looks like in this episode it is between Springfield, IL or Peoria, IL
@@liquidrider Matt greening took inspiration from a real place called Springfield Oregon also it’s just a couch gag
Watch MatPat
@@smiller6986Matt is also from Portland
Ahoy hoy! I list four possible theories to Springfields true location. Please watch the entire video, and let me know where YOU think Springfield is!
Good video
How did you write this before the video released and also didn't MatPat tell us where it is?
U r an absolute legend. An honorary Springfieldian to me
Oregon, game theory
Good video but you realise treehouse of horror isn’t canon so that information you used from it was useless
I like the theory that the city is constantly being moved to different parts of the country, like you said it would explain a lot of the seemingly wacky geography as well as the inconsistencies in the layout.
I think every state is correct and those different Springfields are from other dimensions which is why the Simpsons don't age, because we see different dimensions.
I wonder how many times they've covered up where Springfield is
Imagine if there's 4 springfields meaning there's multiple familys thats why they act so different and perhaps why they never grow up. Also there is technically 3 springfields from when homer becomes sanitation commissioner and springfield moves 5 miles down the road. And also when the simpsons move to the out lands and build a new springfield. I think it's safe to say there is at least 3 springfields.
Now that would be epic.
Another piece of evidence that Illinois could be home to Springfield. In Shelbyville, IL, There Is a grocery store where there are donuts. Above the donuts is a sign of Homer Simpson eating a donut. No joke this actually exists.
Springfield is a small town, how could this Springfield be the Illinois Capital Springfield?
Doesn't really count, that's just marketing.
You know, except for the fact that the creator said it was in Oregon
Springfield is located near the coast with access to the sea. I think that rules out Illinois which is a landlocked state.
What store? Please name it!
It exists in a pocket dimension outside of normal space time. That’s why time passes but the characters never age.
Makes sense
I've been waiting this video for a while now. Glad you made it!
I love that ever time that you post a video I’m watching The Simpson’s.
What if the town is magical, and it teleports from one Springfield to another.
When I was young I was told Springfield was in Australia - I believed this for YEARS...
another masterpiece lydia. i knew i am right to like all these videos before they even begin. "The true location of Springfield is any state but yours" is the perfect way to address it all. Anywhere and Nowhere.
Thanks so much Zaron. Very kind words 🙂✌️
The real Springfield was the friends we made along the way
Very true haha
Engineer gaming approves
We were the real Springfield all along
Yes
Me thinking of fb battles
There was one fact that was missed. In the U.S.A., there are K and W radios. The eastern states use W, and western use K. Illinois is in the east, and Oregon is in the west. Springfield's radio station is KBBL which starts with a K.
Irrelevant there us too much evidence against the Oregon idea. Also your using real world facts instead if series lore which is the big problem in Matpats video
Matt groening is literally from Portland Oregon born and raised is it that hard to get through your thick skull? I wish I had your head to hide shit in an air port it’s so thick with bone and no brain I could sneak all the pot in the world on any plane and never get caught
Another great video 😀😀😀
7:49 One of the few times you will ever hear a Brit say “trash”.
We prefer the word, "rubbish." Haha
litter
Thats a load of rubbish!
Lol
When homer says he's planning a trip to st louis, the travel agent asks if it's east st louis. He answers "is there any other st louis?"
East St. Louis is very small town illinois across the from river from St Louis Missouri.
I’ve always adhered to the idea that Springfield is in a quantum state. Simultaneously nowhere and everywhere.
Springfield moves around every week. It was originally in Oregon but we had to move around the states.
Almost 50k congrats
Thank you ✌️
You'r welcome
Please do a whole video dedicated to talking about the GREATEST Simpsons game ever, The Simpsons Hit and Run
Of course the state capital is Capitol City (which featured way more in early episodes I'm sure)
As there is no such place, I think the North Tacoma thing is true. It's a fictional place but possibly in the Pacific Northwest and bordering desert states like Nevada.
Friend of mine thinks that it’s in West Virginia, and I’m not sure why.
A brilliant video as always ! Nice idea including more than one theory !
Great video this really interesting and surprisingly makes sense
Thanks for another brilliant video, your videos are some of the best parts of my day, you've got such an underrated channel and I think its wrong that only 11% of the people who watch your videos are subscribed, two videos in a few months ago and I was subscribed no question asked, thanks again and keep up the good work 👍
Aww thank you Henry. Very sweet! 💛
Congrats on 50k subs
Always look forward to your videos! You make a bad day a great day even with c-19
Its cool that you went through all this research.
Why are u so underrated I love ur channel
maybe spring feild does exist in a different universe in a universe where those four states are next to eachother like that weird urban legend of that guy from taured
North Tacoma is good enough for me. 😊
Finally a person who debunks this and has litterly reviewed episodes instead of just looking at articles about this
I WATCHED ( WE FOUND SPRINGFIELD ) FROM FILM THEORY
I can’t remember how I discovered your channel, but I’m loving every second of it
Awesome! Thank you 😁
Same
Springfield has been our hearts and homes since 1989. Some people haven't known a world without the Simpson family. Like how l haven't known a world without Queen Elizabeth & her face in various incarnations on our various denominations of money and postage stamps here in Canada since l have been alive since the mid 1960s.
Good vid!
I really think the 3rd idea, Plan B, is the most accurate. There are loads of places by the Simpsons' house after a few episodes. I also loved your Treehouse of Horror Kill Count and now I'm thinking of how many times Bart has been strangled from Series 1-32.
I know this is off topic, but I was thinking that you could do a video where you could find what simpsons attractions could be added to the Springfield land in universal studios. I’ll start off:
1. Mr, Burns Trapdoor. This could be like the tower of terror at the Disney parks, but mr burns pushing a trapdoor.
2. Lyle Lanley’s monorail escape. This could be like rock and rollercoaster at the Disney parks, too. The monorail would go very very fast,
like in the episode “Marge V.S. the Monorail.
I love your idea!
I'm going to Universal Studios Hollywood next year. I want to make a video on The Simpsons land there 🙂
@@TheSimpsonsTheory yes I’m going there this spring I’m so exited to go there
Here is a thought, the first 9 seasons with the original writers Springfield was the Oregon one but after the cast was change it became a running joke that it's in whatever state people see fit for them like there is no wrong answers that's why alot of the "clues" from the first 9 seasons conflict with later seasons and the movie
I love your vids
great vid
Now that I’ve watched I’ll comment something original
Wait the world is Springfield?
Always has been
I think I have an idea: the entire krusty the Clown timeline?
Krusty timeline is on the list. Ned Flanders next week 🙂
@@TheSimpsonsTheory YAY! Thank you!
I like the idea that it’s just completely fictional representing a variety of the US, although your theory that they move around does also make a lot of sense!
Nice video :D
You deserve more subscribers!
Thank you ✌️
We all know where Springfield is. Springfield is located in all of our hearts. Springfield is a state of mind. I've been to Springfield Illinois and had a great time. That town is very small. My friend asked me if I wanted to go with him to pick somebody up on the other side of town and just take the ride. When we got off the highway in about five minutes I asked why are we getting off so fast, are you almost out of gas? I couldn't stop laughing when he told me we are here. I said I thought you told me we were going to the other side of town. I told him you could've said something different than the other side of town, that was misleading. But he did say the other side of town not the other side of the city. I'm pretty sure the Springfield the Simpsons live in is much bigger than Springfield Illinois, it would not fit in such a small town. My neighborhood is bigger than Springfield Illinois, with way more people living here. I could never live someplace as small as Springfield Illinois. You can hear a pin drop. I would never fall asleep. I am too used to hearing sounds of the city like Sirens and helicopters all the time. Great video today Lydia! You answered all of our questions that we have been dying to know the true facts of four years, LOL. What the hell am I saying you didn't actually answer anything, LOL. A riddle and a mystery wrapped in an Enigma.ahoy Springfieldians!
Such an underrated channel !
Just had an idea: what if the Simpsons is a different universe, where continental drift makes springfield border all four of the states, however these states would move instead because the "new grand canyon" is in the centre of America, rather like Ilinois...
Springfield is in Portland Oregon. And how do I know? In the episode "Much Apu About Nothing" the state tax on Homer's wages statement is $10.45. At the time the episode was made the state tax of Oregon was $10.45
Question how could Jebedah Springfield be able to form a city in Oregon in the 1850s when he tried to assasinate George Washington in the 1780s. Also your appling real world facts to a cartoon even tho It's a different universe
@debater452 Matt groening is from PORTLAND OREGON born and raised, Springfield and Eugene besides Salem and Corvallis are the states biggest cities, Matt even said it was oregon the place he used to go as a kid to visit family and right next to where the Oregon ducks play.
I saw a deleted scene of milhouse saying that they lived in the same state as South Park, Colorado. “Really? Just like us, sometimes
Thank you TH-cam, for showing me a video of this channel! Huge Simpsons fan!!
Hey Adam! So glad you found the channel 😀
The early episodes seem to support Oregon due to the geographical settings. They go over the state border in Old Money and I Married Marge to what seems like Nevada
Exept the episode were the reveal that the founder lived in 1780s when Oregon was inhabited in the 1850s
I love this episode and the your channel is awesome. ❤️💕❤️
This channel needs more subs
I subscribed you don't need to tell us off anymore 😂😂 love your content keep it uppppppp
Thank you soooooo much for this video, this is exactly what I thought, NOWHERE and EVERYWHERE!
Kentucky is a real possibility. There is verbal cues/gags in the show that hint towards this. Plus there is a Shelbyville that is a neighboring city.
It could be Kentucky. The only thing that would rule Kentucky out is The Simpsons Movie.
@@TheSimpsonsTheory didn’t really think about that. In all honesty they either just move it a lot or Springfield is a fictional city
@@jacobkehle1 Hey Jacob, Behind The Laughter was a non-canon meta episode that is not part of the main continuity. They also mention Kentucky in the movie :)
Great video! I always thought it was in Illinois for some reason?
Yeah
Great video
Thank you Vincent!
Springfield Illinois also has a nuke plant just down the road. Kristy is also a deaf ringer for Bozo on WGN Chicago. Lastly Milhouse mother mentions Mechanicsburg which is a suburb of Springfield IL.
TheRealJims did a nice video on the changing layout of the Simpsons house. If you accept the Simpsons multiverse theory then the family actually lives in all of those states in different realities, and the layout of the house changes per what universe the episode is in. You can ID the state based on the location of the basement stairs, and the order of the bedrooms.
I can agree on that because in the episode The Way of the Dog that episode takes place in the original universe when Bart remembers the Mall Santa Hat when they got Santa's Little Helper with a actual clip of the very first episode along with his original owner also appeared in that same episode.
Trying to replicate springfield correctly in Tapped out game is one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever done...still gonna try tho
The episode Father Knows Worst seems to support the theory it’s in a state of its own. When the kid in school is going over state capitals, he mentions Capital City
early love this channel
Thanks Julia 🙂
@@TheSimpsonsTheory sub to my channel please
Amazing video! I think it could be in an entirely different dimension than ours.
Very possible 🙂
that kinda gives me a idea of reality shifting in the future lmao
I feel that Oregon isn’t ruled out based on locations of buildings change all the time to fit the gag so maybe they made homer travel “cross country” to make the storyline work.
Edit: I made this comment a minute before you talked about the rotating buildings 🙃🤣
I love all your videos I have seen almost all your videos I love the simpsons and and I like that there is I person that loves to talk about the simpsons like me and whoever reads this I hope you have a great day
Would love it if Springfield turned out to be just next to South Park in Colorado
Great video, MatPat over on FilmTheory did a video like this a few years ago :)
7:42 Holy shit that's smart
Apr 10, 2012 Springfield In 'Simpsons' Was Based On Town In Oregon All Along : The Two-Way Matt Groening tells Smithsonian magazine that the show's location is based on Springfield, Ore. He credits the idea of naming it Springfield to the hit TV show Father Knows Best
Being Based on something is different from actually being somewhere
As an actual Springfieldian from Illinois, our lake is polluted as shit
Thank you so much for saying that because he is my second favourite channel and I love your channel and subscribe to both channels and then super happy
I think it’s oregon, and I have 2 reasons.
1: In the season 8 episode Hurricane Neddy, a hurricane strikes the town of springfield, suggesting it is close to a coast.
2: The Simpsons creator Matt Groening is originally from oregon, and there is a town in oregon called Springfield. Since oregon is on the coast, this also tied up with the #1 reason.
I like watching your videos
Before I've even finished I'm convinced by the first theory, feels like it wouldn't be worth putting Adlai Stevenson's Grave unless they were trying to prove a point.....I'll probably be equally convinced it's in a different place in a few minutes, that's the beauty of theory videos.
Let me know what you think to the other theories too 🙂
@@TheSimpsonsTheory the last one is definitely the most valid for me- knew I'd change my mind. I'd love to imagine in the final ever episode they'll reveal it's somewhere totally unexpected like...Wales (that'll never happen, but the show will last so long that it's current fans might not even be around when the final episode happens to prove it wrong)
I believe Simpsonville, Kentucky is another location of Simpson's Springfield as if you drive on Interstate 64, the Simpsonville Exit and the Shelbyville Exit are next to each other
did anybody notice in the episode 'lisa goes to washington" season 3 it goes on a montage of kids from states and it cuts to a map of oregon and then goes to lisa prooving that they live in oregon
I think it is an amalgamation of loads of different ideas and geographical theories
Awesome. Most logical theory ever.
Thanks for watching!
I love this! The only thing I’d think about is using anything from the tree house of horror episodes because those have already been confirmed to be non cannon so we can’t use those in any way really.
also do you all remmber that one episode where bart go a driving liscence and drove where? OREGAON! so that rules out oregaon as a whole
Very good point! Forgot about that
Omg 😱. How didn’t I noticed this
One of the creators has said it's not in a specific state because it's supposed to feel like our Springfield (there's a few places called Springfield)
I believe in the theory that Springfield exists outside of time and space, which explains the lack of ageing as well as the town having new tech and new presidents without really changing themselves, so maybe the town if Springfield does exist in all of these answers but just at different times and possibly in the future.
(At 2:00) ahem did you say shelbyville... HEY LOOK SOMEONES COUSIN
Remember the area code episode? “A Tale of Two Springfields” The new area code that Springfield was changed to was 939 which is Puerto Rico. The old regular Springfield area code 636 is in Missouri
Clearly Springfield is (in) a state of mind!
Just wanted to say that it's not only in the movie where their backyard leads out to forest / nature. For example in the episode in season 16 (yep I had to google the name) it leads to nature / foresty area and there is even a river.
If the series is supposed to reflect modern culture in the US, Springfield might just be bits of the US put in a blender, and that blender occasionally mixes up the layout of the town.
Springfield was in the friendships we made along the way.
