The Simpsons was first broadcast 22 years ago this Saturday!
If you’re a regular viewer, you’ll know that the show is set in a fictional town called Springfield.
What you still won’t know is where Springfield is located – because the creators and writers won’t tell us. In fact, they’ve even joked about this as part of the show!
While most of our team would have watched The Simpsons at one time or another, we don’t have any special inside information on where Springfield is.
Instead, we’ve created 2 maps so you can form your own hypotheses:- The first map (top) shows all the Springfields in the world.
- The second map (right) shows all the Springfields in the United States.
Happy guessing!
