Neither the movie nor the book on which it is based names Dorothy's hometown. Both only say she is from Kansas.

The Wizard says he's in Omaha (in the book), but that is the only town mentioned.

No city is identified. Author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] begins the book with the explanation that the farmhouse in which Dorothy lives with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em is the middle of the great Kansas plains. Towards the end, the city of Omaha is mentioned. But that's in Nebraska, which is the home state of the Wizard of Oz.

What place other than Kansas has lots of tornadoes and therefore could have been the setting for 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Iowa, Nebraska and North and South Dakota are places that have lots of tornadoes and that could have been settings for "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the bleak life of the Kansas sequences in "The Wizard of Oz" is found in select parts of all of the above-mentioned states. Tornadoes also occur in the Great Plains and Midwestern states mentioned previously. But they take place more often in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska than either of the Dakotas.

When does The Wizard of Oz take place?

Kansas was the setting for the earthly sequences in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'. Omaha, Nebraska also was the setting for the remembrance sequences of the Wizard's former earthly life. The land of Oz was the setting for the beautiful, enchanted, magical sequences. The action took place in the Emerald City and in the countries of the Munchkins, the Quadlings, and the Winkies. There also was a reference to the North Country. But no action took place in the North Country of the Gillikins. According to the illustrations, the book was set around the time at which author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919] first wrote and published it: 1899-1900. But it could have taken place at any historically recorded time point in which the practice of hot air ballooning, the settlement of Kansas, and the use of spectacles overlapped.
