Dimmsdale is a city, as well as the home of Timmy Turner, his Fairly OddParents, his friends and his parents. It provides the central setting for the Nickelodeon animated series The Fairly OddParents. It is located in California, although its exact geographical location in the state differs in certain episodes.
Information[]
It is often mentioned as an average metropolitan complex in the suburbs where Timmy lives. In The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3: The Jerkinators, it is revealed that Dimmsdale has a population of 170,200; quite a large population for such a small-looking city, although many episodes depict Dimmsdale being a much larger and urbanized city with many skyscrapers.
A common misconception is that Dimmsdale is named after Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome. However, in one episode, it is revealed that the city was named after Dale Dimm, a village idiot in the town's early history. Dimmsdale is anachronistically portrayed as a New England style puritan colony town in the episode Dale Dimm is featured in, "Which Witch Is Which?".
A lot of the residents are somewhat dimwitted, as many of them jump to conclusions very quickly, and also don't read all the fine print of documents (as revealed when The mayor says that he is their mayor-for-life, and no one knew that when they voted).
In Vicky Loses Her Icky, the Mayor of Dimmsdale opened the "Welcome to Dimmsdale - Nicest Town on Earth!" sign. However, at the end of the episode, the president of the USA changes the word nicest to meanest due to what Vicky did and Timmy ordering the security to arrest Vicky. The sign reappears in A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!, but it appeared as it was before the president changed the sign, suggesting that Dimmsdale was able to prove to the president that Dimmsdale was a nice town and he allowed them to change it back to normal.
Some places, like the Dimmsdale Dimmadome (local arena) are in Downtown. Dimmsdale is in California as revealed in "Christmas Every Day" and "Fairy Idol".
History[]
Dimmsdale was founded in 1665 by pioneers that were going to name their town Bitterburg, after Alden Bitterroot. However, when his secret was revealed, that he was indeed a witch, Dale Dimm stopped him and saved the town. In his honor, they renamed the town Daleburg, but a time-traveling Timmy Turnerrecommended that it be called Dimmsdale and they complied with that idea.
