There's an ep where they confirm that it isn't in Missouri, but that probably doesn't matter either lol

There was one episode where they go to West Springfield which is, according to Lisa, "three times the size of Texas" . So I wouldn't worry too much about what state it's in.

It's whichever state has farmlands, badlands, NE-esque coastline, and towering mountain peaks within a 30-min drive from town.

it is based on the creator's hometown in Oregon:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-simpsons-creator-matt-groening-reveals-location-of-springfield/

I always figured that it was on the west coast somewhere because they're somewhat close to the ocean. And I do remember in some episode where Marge said Homer went to the ocean because that's to "the west" and Springfield "slopes down" that way. (I forget what episode. Homer was either drunk or under some drug influence of some kind). That's what I remember anyway.

When the movie premiered it came first to Springfield, VT and I think it was said somewhere that then it was based in Vermont. But as a Vermonter, I can assure you, it's not.

They very clearly stated it's the one that borders Ohio, Nevada, Maine, and Kentucky. If you still can't figure it out, well that's on you.

There's a really good Film Theory episode that covers the topic. As I recall, Springfield is loosely based on and located in roughly the Washington state area not far from Seattle? And of course, the town is fictional itself.

The simple reality is that it changes. Every year a new state has the obligation to have Springfield considered part of them and bare the cost, so no one state suffers for too long.

I wasn't aware that California has ever been hit by two major hurricanes in the same city within a 20-year timespan. Or had regular seasonal snowfall in town while still being within an hour's driving distance from Arizona-style badlands.

It's Oregon. Straight from the mouth of Matt Groening. Therefore every other state mentioned is wrong.

I think there were multiple versions of that line and they changed which state it was in that episode based on the airing.
