Legacy
Fame Today
Springfield had many famous quotations, such as “A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man,” and was well known for his silver tongue (literally; a metal prosthetic tongue, his original tongue having been bitten off by a Turkish pirate in a grog house fight). He also wears a coonskin cap.
The Sprienfield Historical Society, headed by Hollis Hurlbut, is devoted to the study of the town's history, specially Jebediah's. Hurlbut, who is aware of Springfield's true background, keeps the truth hidden.
Dedications
The Springfield Marathon commemorates an occasion on which he ran across six states in order to avoid his creditors.
Statue Head
In “The Telltale Head" Bart beheaded the statue with a hacksaw, thinking that this would make him more popular. In reality, the town became depressed and angry, leaving Bart to endure “The Tell-Tale Heart”-style guilt before replacing it. The video game The Simpsons Road Rage references this episode: if one rams the statue while playing, the head will fall off. This can also be done in The Simpsons Hit and Run where Bart or Apu can kick or ram Jebediahs head off. In The Simpsons Game you cannot do this.
The Truth
Unfortunately, after Lisa did a bit of research she had evidence that Jebidiah was not really a good man but a pirate who one actually attempted to attack George Washinton. In the end, Lisa could not reveal the truth because she believed that Springfield needed the good image of Jebediah Springfield. This was in the episode where it was Jebidiah Spingfield day.
