  Shelbyville (The Simpsons) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shelbyville and Springfield are treated in the series as twin cities, though with an intense rivalry between each other.
The city of Shelbyville was founded by Shelbyville Manhattan in 1796, who held the belief that people should be allowed to marry their cousins, a practice disallowed by fellow explorer and founder of Springfield, Jebediah Springfield.
Like Springfield, Shelbyville is also a city located in a fictional/nonexistent U.S. state; the only things certain are that Springfield and Shelbyville are twin cities, share at least one common roadway between the two, and that Springfield's various broadcast media, particularly radio station KBBL, serves both cities.

 History and Regionalism in The Simpsons   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
It was those same bluffs that were present at the falling out of Jebediah Springfield and Shelbyville Manhattan, and it is that falling out that serves as Springfield’s historical reason for their enmity towards Shelbyville.
That is not to say events in the past should be discounted as being good reasons for actions in the present; however, the history of the encounter between Jebediah Springfield and Shelbyville Manhattan is suspect because it is almost surely different for the residents of each town.
The existence of these different regional histories is not in doubt, for at the end of the episode, we see Grandpa Simpson and his Shelbyville counterpart relating the tale of the lemon tree’s theft and recovery, each one casting his own town in the best possible light.

 The Simpsons
When one such house was discovered in Springfield, the sole focus of the show was to expose the hypocrisy of the puritanical members of socially conservative society, to the point of appearing quite apologetic to the aforementioned, sordid profession.
Also, there are many who’d feel offended by the episode about the origins, and the citizen partisanship within each, of the towns of Springfield and neighbouring Shelbyville, through which the show alludes to one particular religious sect and its propensity towards polygamous unions (a.k.a.
When Jebediah refuses to go along with such a social order, Shelbyville angrily denounces his counterpart by insisting, “I tell you, I won’t live in a town where a man can’t marry his cousins!” Thus, each, along with his followers in agreement, went his own way to establish his town.
