I had my money on Springfield, Illinois (due to its close proximity to a for-real Shelbyville), but it turns out the actual location of the Simpson family-- according to a recent interview with show creator Matt Groening-- is Springfield, Oregon. Sorry, all the other Springfields in America, looks like you can no longer claim to be the home of Homer. It's not really that big of a surprise since Groening is from Portland and many of the city's streets were the inspiration for the names of several Simpsons characters.
