Springfield is the fictional city in which the animated American sitcom The Simpsons is set. Springfield is a large city located near a large, unknown body of water. The geography of Springfield and its surroundings is flexible, changing to address whatever an episode’s plot calls for.
There are no geographical coordinates or references to U.S. states that might identify in which part of the country Springfield is located. The show is intentionally deceptive in regard to Springfield's location, having hinted at and ruled out nearly every U.S. state as the basis for the town's location. The name Springfield was also intentionally chosen to be ambiguous, as there are over 50 towns and cities called Springfield in the United States.
