For the Simpsons Fans.. A Quiz (America, God, religion)

[(Q)]

So, where is the Springfield located depicted in the Simpsons.

My guess is Missouri.

Good question, (Q)! It was actually answered in one of the more recent episodes where it satired VH1's "Behind the Music" by doing The Simpsons: Behind the Laughter.

In the episode, the narrator revealed that The Simpsons are from northern Kentucky.

Of course, no town in the U.S. has all of the characteristics of Springfield (a gorge, a nuclear plant, etc.)

[(Q)]

Ah, OK. I see on the map of Kentucky there is a Springfield located just southeast of Loisville...

BUT, there is a Simpsonville just east of Loisville right near a town called Shelbyville. I wonder which one it is they refer?

I thought Missouri because on one episode Grandpa drives to Branson, Missouri with his new girlfriend, which is south of Springfield, Missouri.

"I wonder which one it is they refer?"

I don't think the writers ever had a specific town in mind. They probably picked the name Springfield because it's the most common town name in the U.S. and they probably said Northern Kentucky just to revive the controversy. The writers of the show are quite evil, really.
