1. Name of many cities. The largest and most well-known Springfield is in Massachusetts. It's home to the Basketball Hall of Fame. Springfield, IL is also well-known by elementary school students as a state capital, but otherwise, it's a backwater. Springfield, MO is even more of a backwater but it's home to SW Missouri State Univ (SMS). There are also smaller Springfields in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Oregon and Ohio. None of these are worth discussing.
2. The fictional town where TV's The Simpsons live. It's not supposed to be in any state; rather, it's Springfield, USA. Identifying it with any real city would be a real embarassment because this Springfield is home to a fake barf factory.
We drove through Springfield on our way to Springfield.

The capital city of the great state of Illinois. It is one of the top five largest cities in Illinois, with a population of over 112,000. It is located in the west-central area of the state, which makes it more accessable to the rest of Illinois.
Springfield was the home of Abraham Lincoln, the president responsible for restoring the union and keeping the nation from being torn in two, and also freeing the black slaves in the South and parts of the Midwest, such as Kentucky and Missouri.
The city has a reasonably good skyline for it's size. The two largest and tallest buildings in Springfield are the Springfield Hilton Hotel, and the Illinois State Capital building.

Springfielders thumb this up, other towns dont hate. Don't know what we're about? Lemme sum this up, we got what you need, we charge premium for premium quality, and beer is cheap. Hard alcohol is part of our food pyramid. From the bottom all the way to the top, we stay springfield true, and when shit hits the fan a springhood boy got his bros backs. Hate us or love us, we are what we are, and dont forget who runs this county like the way it's supposed to be. Don't like it? Suck it up and move on with your life, it's not gonna change any time soon.

Springfield's got the closest crews you'll ever meet, and if you try to start shit within our borders you're bound to get wrecked. Fags that start shit within our own town get ended fast, might as well get out if you're gonna be a bitch. Springfielders stay on good terms with our neighbors, dont start anything and you got a free pass to all the product and protection you need. Friends are what make Springfield a place to be, we stay close and dont let no one start trouble and get away with it.
Person A: Springfield's a great town.

Person A: Don't forget the hot girls.
Person B: How could you? Springfield girls are banginnn

There are a lot of towns in the United States named Springfield. There's one in Massachusetts, another in Illinois, and another in Missouri, all with over 100,000 people. There are other Springfields that are smaller. Ohio has one between Dayton and Columbus on Interstate 70. Virginia has one near Washington, DC. It gets a lot of traffic on Interstate 95 and has a very confusing interchange. There are even smaller Springfields in Vermont and Indiana. Finally, it's that town where The Simpsons live.
There are too many cities called Springfield in this country it driver me crazy

Best town in Union County, runs all other towns. Bullshitting through school by day and getting blazed as hell by night is what a Springfielder does best. Doesnt have a downtown because we dont need one. Dayton pride, magnet and private schools = gheyer than the sequel to waiting. Weekend means getting drunk as hell and smoking as many j's as one can afford. A Springfielder actually appreciates what they have, because unlike snobby rich kids from other towns, we work for our cash. The top is for jews, the bottom is for life. Right next to union for those needed Dairy Queen trips. When you go out at 3am, expect to see a bunch of kids walking around with slushees (PC & NG cred). Yeah we head to westfield downtown every once in a while, but that's just because we need something to laugh at. Oh you're from millburn? Guess who doesn't care? Everyone.

Springhood pride, drive fast with the radio maxed and the windows down, hit us up on the east side where the real shit goes down. Kenilworth's chill, RP's ight, mountainside homies, but don't forget your skin color. Union has bros but got its pick of losers. Maplewoods alrite, Summit got it's share of gangsters and gays. Springfield will mess up any other town in a fight, don't forget it. We don't have gangs, we have friends. Outsiders looking for trouble find it fast. Dont bring no weps, skin like the old days if you're a man.
Guy 1: You know the town Springfield right?
Guy 2: Like from the simpsons?
Guy 1: No the one in jersey.
Guy 2: Oh yeah, that towns the shit. Springfield blood run deep, got more history then you could fit in a book. Gets boring sometimes though.
Guy 1: Yeah, thats why we go to Westfield to find some losers to laugh at.
Guy 2: HAHA westfield kids are fagggggs.
Guy 1: Uh duh. Their mayor had an affair with a dude.

Bro A: Yo man I need some stuff, you know where to get?
Bro B: Hit up a Springfielder, they always got that good shit.
Bro A: True, they always got the high quality product..
Bro B: Stay friendly though, they'll kill anyone who acts like an enemy. Stay true though and you got homies for life.
Bro A: Forreal.

Local abbreviation of Springfield University Hospital, a psychiatric hospital in Tooting, South London.

It was fouded in the 1840s, originally known as Surrey County Lunatic Asylum.

For some reason, it is bordered by several schools, which is rather freaky.

A fairly large city in southwest Missouri. Springfield is home to a fairly fun and night-lifey downtown area, A shitload of really conservative christians, Enough money for a couple nice car dealers and an occasional Porche sighting, A big Bass Pro, a really good pizza shoppe (Pizza House), and not much else.

If you are higher-middle class, conservative christian, and BORING, live south of Sunshine. If you aren't, live north of Sunshine or MOVE!
