Springfield (The Simpsons)
Springfield is the fictional town in which the American animated sitcom ''The Simpsons'' is set. A mid-sized town in an undetermined state of the United States, Springfield acts as a complete universe in which characters can explore the issues faced by modern society. The geography of the town and its surroundings is flexible, changing to address whatever an episode's plot calls for.
Springfield's location is impossible to determine, but as seen in episode 17 of the 24th season, it could be located somewhere in western Illinois or eastern Iowa when there is a zoom-out and then zoom-in of the Earth. Because the fictional Capital City is the largest in the state, Iowa could be the likelier inspiration for the state in which Springfield resides. The show is deliberately evasive on the subject, providing contradictory clues and information about an actual geographic location.
==Creation==
Springfield is meant to represent "anytown, USA" and not be a specific real town, although the producers acknowledge basing the town on various locations including ''The Simpsons'' creator Matt Groening's hometown of Portland, Oregon and Mike Scully's hometown, Springfield, Massachusetts. Groening named Springfield after Springfield, Oregon, and also took inspiration from Springfield being the fictitious setting of the series ''Father Knows Best''. He said, "I also figured out that Springfield was one of the most common names for a city in the U.S. In anticipation of the success of the show, I thought, 'This will be cool; everyone will think it's their Springfield.' And they do."〔(''Simpsons launch hits Springfield'' ) BBC News. Retrieved July 21, 2007.〕 Groening liked ''Second City Television's'' use of Melonville, a town with a large cast of recurring characters that serves as a mini-universe for the show, and partially based ''The Simpsons'' on it.
