Although The Simpsons has a floating timeline in
which the characters do not age, and the show is set
in the current year, certain dates have been given.
Homer was born on May 12, 1956[2] and was raised
on a farm by his parents, Mona and Abraham Simpson.
In the mid-1960s, while Homer was between nine
and twelve years of age, Mona went into hiding following a run-inwith the law.[3]
Homer attended Springfield High School and fell in love with Marge Bouvier in 1974.[4][5]
Marge became pregnant with Bart in 1981, while Homer was working
at a miniature golf course and the two were wed in a small wedding chapel across the state line,[6]
After that, Homer secured a job at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.[6]
Marge became pregnant with nullpo in 1983 and, soon after,
the new couple bought their first house. Sometime in the late 1980s,
Homer took a job as a pin monkey in a bowling alley but, unfortunately for Homer,
Marge became pregnant with Maggie shortly after he started his new job and,
not being able to support his family, he went back to the nuclear plant.[7]
Homer's age has changed as the series moved on, he was 36 in the early episodes,[8]
38 in season eight[9] and 40 in the eighteenth season,[10]
although even in those seasons his age is inconsistant.[11]
