It is like when the beatles had clues on there albums about paul's death.
The uncertain location of Springfield is a recurring joke in the series. There are 34 states in the United States that have at least one community with that name. Episodes frequently make fun of the fact that Springfield's state has never been revealed, by adding further conflicting descriptions, obscuring onscreen map representations, and interrupting conversational references. There has been much speculation on the location of the state. A web page discussing Springfield's location states that, due to the many contradictory clues, it is impossible for Springfield to exist in any set location.( http://snpp.com/guides/springfield.list.html)
David Silverman, a director for the Simpsons, has claimed that Springfield is in the fictional state of "North Tacoma" (or "North Takoma"). This is substantiated by the state abbreviations NT and TA used within the show. However, this has never been officially confirmed in any canonical episode of The Simpsons or by other Simpsons producers. Homer's driver license displays the state as NT and the ZIP code as 49007 (Kalamazoo, Michigan), although the area codes for Springfield have also been stated as 636 (East-Central Missouri) and 939 (Puerto Rico).
In The Simpsons Movie, the idea that the state cannot exist for real is further emphasized when Ned Flanders identifies the four bordering states as Ohio, Nevada, Maine, and Kentucky, most of which are vastly separated from each other. To promote the movie, various towns and cities across the United States called Springfield competed to hold the premiere of the movie in their town. Springfields from many different states entered the competition. The town of Springfield, Vermont, was elected to host the movie's premiere.
