Shelbyville
Location from The Simpsons by Matt Groening / Fox
Springfield's neighboring rival town — nearly identical in every respect, bitterly opposed in all of them, and the source of constant low-level hostility.
Also known as: Shelbyville, USA
What They Know
- Was founded at the same time as Springfield by Shelbyville Manhattan, who disagreed with Jebediah Springfield about cousin marriage — the rift has persisted for generations
- Has a Joe's Tavern, which Springfield residents refuse to patronize on principle
- Is to the west of Springfield, per the Simpsons Movie's geography, which is otherwise inconsistent
- The Shelbyville-Springfield rivalry is taken seriously by children in both towns and treated with more nuance by adults, who have also never resolved it
