==Other towns== ===Shelbyville=== The fictional city of Shelbyville is Springfield's rival. It was founded in 1796 by Shelbyville Manhattan, who advocated [[cousin marriage]] among his followers, causing a split between himself and Jebediah Springfield. An intense [[rivalry]] between the two cities continues today, especially in the sixth-season episode "[[Lemon of Troy]]", in which Shelbyville residents steal a prized lemon tree from Springfield. In several episodes, "Lemon of Troy" in particular, it is suggested that Shelbyville is to an extent a parallel version of Springfield. Shelbyville is also the city where Luann van Houten grew up. It also has at least one [[McDonald's]] restaurant, a Speed-E-Mart, Joe's Tavern, and a school. Per "[[Last Exit to Springfield]]", Shelbyville was at least briefly called "Morganville" during Abe Simpson's youth. According to ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', Shelbyville is west of Springfield. It is the home of the button fly. Shelbyville was ranked 10th in "The 10 Best [[Dystopia]]s" in the December 2005 issue of ''[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.wired.com/2005/12/the-10-best-dystopias/ |title=The 10 Best Dystopias |accessdate=December 12, 2007 |magazine=Wired |first=Jeremy Adam |last=Smith |date=December 2005}}</ref> ===Capital City=== Capital City (often spelled Capitol City in early episodes) is the fictional capital and largest city in the state in which the show is set. It is represented as a major urban center, hosting major sports events, conventions, and [[United Nations]] conferences. Its nickname is ''The Windy Apple'' (a joke by the show's writers, combining the nicknames of New York City's "The Big Apple" and [[Chicago]]'s "The Windy City"). Landmarks include a [[Duff Beer|Duff]] brewery, possibly mimicking the Anheuser-Busch brewery in St. Louis, the Cross-town [[suspension bridge]] resembling San Francisco's [[Golden Gate Bridge]], the Capital City Stadium, the Capital City Amphitheatre (featuring [[Krusty the Clown]]), and the intersection of 4th Street and Avenue D. ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'' places Capital City just to the north of Springfield. ===Brockway=== The fictional town of Brockway is mentioned by [[Lyle Lanley]] (voiced by [[Phil Hartman]]) as the municipality to which he has sold [[monorail]] systems ("[[Marge vs. the Monorail]]"). Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook are also mentioned in episode 18 of the TV series ''[[Supernatural (American TV series)|Supernatural]]'' by [[Sam Winchester]], as locations of past [[Shtriga]] activity. ===Ogdenville=== The fictional city of Ogdenville was first mentioned in "[[Marge vs. the Monorail]]", when Lyle Lanley claimed to have sold a monorail to Ogdenville. Ogdenville has also been mentioned in other episodes such as "[[Saddlesore Galactica]]", "[[Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield]]" and "[[To Surveil with Love]]". In "[[Eeny Teeny Maya Moe]]", Maya is from Ogdenville. Ogdenville has an outlet mall and is separated from Springfield by a rocky desert. In "[[Coming to Homerica]]", Ogdenville is a town of barley producing farms that are shut down due to tainted barley being used in a new, vegetarian [[#Krusty Burger|Krusty Burger]]. Ogdenvillians are composed of [[Norwegians|Norwegian]] immigrants with thick Norwegian accents. They also are big fans of the [[Minnesota Vikings]] due to the heavy incidence of Norwegian immigrants in the state of Minnesota. As a small [[Easter egg (media)|easter egg]], during a [[Influenza|flu]] outbreak in Springfield, the hospital only received schemas in Norwegian, which was later confirmed via close-up. Series creator [[Matt Groening]]'s background is Norwegian and German, which he has described as "two of the unfunniest ethnic groups in the history of the world". ===North Haverbrook=== The fictional town of North Haverbrook was first mentioned by [[Lyle Lanley]] in "[[Marge vs. the Monorail]]". [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] arrives in North Haverbrook and finds a desolate [[ghost town]], where the faulty monorail derailed, causing a disaster, chasing away most of their residents and scaring away investors. The remaining North Haverbrook locals have since denied the monorail's existence, presumably blaming Lanley for the whole thing that ruined their town's reputation. Marge is met with hostility by the locals, including a woman who works at the 'Monorail Cafe'. She orders Marge to leave her town at once and never speak of the monorail anymore. A resident scientist from Germany, Sebastian Cobb, was the only one willing to help Marge out and save the passengers on the Springfield Monorail from suffering the same fate as North Haverbrook. Lanley is later attacked by the citizens of the town after his plane makes an unscheduled stop there. North Haverbrook also appeared in "[[Little Big Girl]]". After [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] is awarded a [[driver's license]], he gets sick of countless errands and goes for a drive and eventually finds North Haverbrook, and falls in love with a girl named Darcy. In this episode, the town appears to have recovered well from the monorail disaster, as it is now changed from a [[ghost town]] to a thriving community with multiple businesses that Bart enjoys. It has a romantic reputation. All signs of the monorail have also disappeared. It also appears on a road sign as Snake drives towards Mexico with the Kwik-E-Mart on a flatbed trailer during "[[Marge in Chains]]". ===Cypress Creek=== In the world of the Simpsons, Cypress Creek is a [[Model village|model town]] created for the workers of the Globex Corporation. It appears in the episode "[[You Only Move Twice]]". It is an affluent town and is home to many [[wildflower]]s (to which [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] is allergic). The city is an obvious parody of [[Silicon Valley]] or the master-planned communities often built by major corporations. ===Guidopolis=== In the episode "[[Midnight Towboy]]", Homer initially goes for a bottle of milk in a little town near Springfield named Guidopolis, where he then subsequently becomes a [[tow truck]] driver and is introduced to the [[vehicle recovery]] sector. The town is primarily inhabited by [[Italian Americans|Italian-American]] [[Greaser (subculture)|greasers]]. ===Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport=== Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport is a fictional seaside town close to Springfield's State, where the Simpsons went for the Fourth of July in the Flanders's beach house; the town appears in the episode "[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]". Nicknamed "Little Pwag", the town contains many beaches and a large boardwalk section, and a fun fair open every summer.
