The writers intentionally made Springfield the name of the city because almost every state in America has a Springfield in it. This way, they could write in as many different scenarios as fit the screenplay and script at any episode and there would be little to no disillusionment with the fans. But seeing as to how you want a nice little guess and you already knew that I'm gonna say, California. If ya think about it, only California would be wacky enough to have mountains, a nuclear power plant, an Army base, a bay, a desert, a mesa, a couple national parks, a redwood forest preserve, and an iceberg all in the same town. Also, there always seems to be a surplus of celebrities, or celebrity has-beens coursing through randomly at one point or another. So, it would stand to reason that they were somewhere close to an area in which a lot of celebrities lived, like Hollywood, or Beverly Hills, both in California. All the physical features that Springfield has been shown to posses on the show can be found or feasibly exist in California, making it even more convincing that they are probably there. It all adds up, because no other state in America could have all of those features and landmarks all at once. They are probably located somewhere along the west coast, close to the ocean but not quite there yet.

from about.come
Using a state-by-state Mapquest search, you can find 53 Springfields in 34 states. Which real Springfield is the model for the Springfield on "The Simpsons?" It's hard to say. But there have been clues in various episodes that make some fans sure they know they true location.
Latest Developments
Many fans say "Behind the Laughter" definitvely noted that Springfield was in Kentucky, per the narrator. But in repeats of that episode, the narrator said Springfield was in Missouri.
Background
According to interviews and "The Simpsons" Archive FAQ, Matt Groening chose the name "Springfield" simply because it is one of the most common city names in the United States.
But Groening and the writers have enjoyed teasing fans with clues as to where the town might be located.

Even though it's not mentioned what state they live in, it's gotta be Illinois, because it has a city named Springfield and a city named Shelbyville.

There are several towns in America called Springfield... I think they left off the state on purpose.

I believe that they didn't specify the state on purpose...Springfield can be anywhere in the U.S., that's the beauty of it.
