Groening has also said it's pretty much in Oregon, especially since so much in the fictional town is taken from there, where he grew up.
Besides, among what we know is that it's on a coast, so it definitely can't be in Illinois. You can say the show has lots of contradictions, but Springfield being on a coast is pretty consistent.
- ethbr1 3y agoHe grew up in Portland, no? Which isn't coastal. Nor is Springfield, OR. In fact, if coastal is required that generally rules out Oregon as a candidate state. Not too many major coastal population centers of any name...
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoWell yeah, I stated he grew up in Portland in the comment you are replying to and asking that question...what the heck? I didn't say Portland was coastal, I said Springfield was. Clearly the universe of The Simpsons is not our universe, but in that universe Springfield is coastal, and most likely in Oregon.

- PrimeMcFly 3y agoIndeed. I apologize for my mistake there.
- sien 3y agoIt's also got a nuclear reactor which rules out Oregon doesn't it ?
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoNot the Oregon of The Simpsons world...
- lunaticlabs 3y agoAs far as I know, it’s based roughly on the Hanford plant. It is in Washington, but very close to Portland, Oregon. The Hanford plant looks very similar to the one from the Simpsons.
