Official Simpsons mural on the Emerald Art Center in downtown Springfield, Oregon.
Local spotlight A Little Springfield in Springfield

Downtown Springfield has a pretty unusual claim to fame. Matt Groening, who grew up in Oregon, has said that Springfield, Oregon inspired the name of the hometown in The Simpsons—although the fictional Springfield was intentionally kept geographically ambiguous.

The Official Simpsons Mural on the Emerald Art Center was unveiled in 2014. It places the Simpson family in a distinctly Oregon setting filled with towering Douglas firs, mountain scenery, native plants and wildlife.

The official mural was created as a sanctioned Simpsons project, and it helped inspire Springfield’s growing collection of Simpsons-themed public art. Local muralist Bayne Gardner later added many of the smaller character murals scattered around downtown, helping turn a walk through Springfield into something of a Simpsons scavenger hunt.

It’s one of those wonderfully weird pieces of local culture that feels perfectly at home here.
