    Remember how Jimbo and Kearnie were against cutting the head off Jebediah yet they were shown doing it in the intro? Remember Lisa found out he was really a pirate. Maybe Jumbo and Kearnie found out the truth later on and believed Lisa?

    Thanks for this cohesive video. I have previously thought that nothing in The Simpsons is as flexible and bowsing as the history of Springfield, which bends every time to the demands of the story that moves the episode forward, for example, sometimes Jebediah is canon and sometimes not. But this video helped me understand that history has managed to keep its cohesiveness unlike I thought.

    Yeah The Simpsons movie does seem like a good place to end it. However many years later there was episode 500 I think and The Simpsons themselves moved to a nearby small town to getaway from Springfield, but then Springfield just move themselves over to that town and took over so that's something else that happened later on but oh well.

    My pet theory is that Springfield is located in Virginia. It's history goes back all the way to colonial times and Virginia was one of the first British colonies in the Americas. Furthermore Jebediah Springfield once attempted to assassinate George Washington, who was from Virginia. Flash several decades and Monty's grandad Colonel Burns owned slaves which indicates that Springfield must have been in the south where slavery was legal. And considering how Virginia saw a lot of action during the Civil War, its no surprise that there were battles found at and around Springfield. Also Virginia is a coastal state, which makes sense since Springfield has a port with access to the sea. Then there's the fact that Virginia has an army base, navy base and air force base, all of which have came up and played a part in certain episodes.

But no they picked Springfield Vermont because there's a nuclear power plant nearby apparently.
