    Is The Simpsons set in Oregon canon? I know Matt Groening has said that he’s from there and a lot of the characters are inspired by his real life family.

    I haven’t seen The Simpsons in ages since it stopped being good so I don’t know if this is a new thing or the OP took some liberties.

      Simpsons is specifically not from a specific state. Too many contradictory “clues” to the location. Honestly, I’ve always thought Massachusetts was the most likely - given the nearby ocean and the parody of the Kennedy family, but I do recall an old Reddit thread that had it worked out to be West Virginia!

      Found the old Reddit thread, FWIW.
