Springfield is a city (or town in some episodes) in Springfield County, Springfield's State and is located within the continental United States, where the Simpson family lives. It is located east of Shelbyville, south of Capital City,but also near Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook. For many years, the evidence was sufficiently contradictory that it could not be identified with a specific state; however, Matt Groening has come forward and admitted that it was based on Springfield, Oregon.[7] This can be questioned however, because during the couch gag at the beginning of the episode "The Ziff Who Came to Dinner", the screen pans out to the map of the United States, and the location over Illinois, and it is stated to be in southern Illinois, and there is no evidence towards it being Oregon.
