More Real World Locales →

WOOLSTOCK, IOWAWoolstock, Iowa, is a small community with a remarkable place in Superman history. Located in Wright County, the town was the birthplace of George Reeves, the actor who would go on to become one of the most familiar faces associated with Superman through his starring role in the landmark 1950s television series, "The Adventures of Superman".→

METROPOLIS, NEVADAWhat was once a thriving community of 25,000 is now nothing more than a ghost town of old hotel and school foundations and desert land littered with artifacts that dictate what once existed here. There is also a stone memorial honoring the town and the residents which lived here from 1911 - 1947.→

KRYPTON, KENTUCKYLong before Superman fans began searching the map for connections to the Man of Steel, Krypton was already the name of a small community in eastern Kentucky. Located in Perry County along the North Fork of the Kentucky River, approximately 10 miles northwest of Hazard, Krypton is an unincorporated community surrounded by the mountains and coalfields of the region.→

METROPOLIS, ILLINOISThe Metropolis Chamber of Commerce wants visitors to think of their town, Metropolis as the legendary residence of Kal-El, the last son of Krypton. For nearly five decades, the small town of Metropolis, Illinois, has welcomed tourists and curiosity seekers to the one-and-only home of the comic book hero.→

GEORGE REEVES' HOMEGeorge Bessolo Reeves lived in a modest house in Benedict Canyon in Los Angeles, California up until the time of his death on June 15, 1959.

JERRY SIEGEL CHILDHOOD HOMEJerry Siegel, co-creator of the Man of Steel, was born and raised in the community of Glenville, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio.
