Springfield really does exist! In fact, there are towns and cities with this name all over the English-speaking world, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and so on. In the US alone, there are over 40 places with this name. The city in The Simpsons is fictional however, and details about it are deliberately kept vague to allow viewers to imagine it for themselves. The information provided in the show is that the city is likely mid-sized.
