According to the BBC – and Simpson’s fans no doubt – there are 14 towns in the US called Springfield.That got me thinking. Do you know how many other Wallington’s there are out there beyond our one here in Surrey - and have you visited any of them?
Please leave a comment and a photo if you have one and I will post them.

Hi from Oz. Wallington is a rural township near Geelong in Victoria, Australia. We are just 1 hour and 20minutes from Melbourne. And famous for our annual strawberry festival, the Wallington Strawberry Fair.

According to Wikipedia Wallington was created as a borough on January 2, 1895 (based on a referendum held on December 31, 1894), at the height of the Boroughitis fever then sweeping through Bergen County. The borough was formed from area taken from Bergen Township and Saddle River Township. Sections of Wallington were ceded to Garfield in 1898.
