The house is located on Elm Street in the fictional town of Springwood in [[Ohio]]. In the script for the 1984 film, Wes Craven mentions Los Angeles in California as the setting and has Elm Street located in an unnamed suburb, but this information is left out of the film until minor details like Glen is calling "the airport" on the phone, a few palm trees can be seen and in one shot at the cemetery you can clearly see the blue California license tag. The change to Ohio was possibly done as a homage to Wes Craven, who was born in Cleveland in Ohio.<ref>{{cite web | title=Series FAQ | url=http://nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com/site/features/series-faq/#04 | access-date=March 13, 2020 | website=Nightmare on Elm Street Companion}}</ref> Fact is, that the state Ohio was named for the first time in part 6 but never before. The name Springwood and its change from suburb to town was introduced in ''Freddy's Revenge''; although the town's name is not mentioned in dialogue, the characters are seen attending Springwood High School, and [[Jesse Walsh]] and Lisa Webber are seeing reading newspapers which brand Krueger "The Springwood Slasher".<ref name="N2 film" /> The script to ''[[Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare]]'' humorously refers to Elm Street as "''The supreme "bad place" of the universe.
