The Bloom County comic strip by Berkeley Breathed began running on December 8th, 1980. The comic strip ran for around 9 years, ending on August 6th, 1989.
The exact location is never revealed, but clues are provided in the strip. In one strip Oliver Wendell Jones identified that Bloom County would be were Halley's Comet would hit, a sign was seen with the coordinates 35.05 N 146.55 E. That would mean it would be on an island in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan. Oliver's calculation before that had the coordinates 39.43 N 105.01 E. That would mean the town is located south of Denver, Colorado. In an early strip, Milo says his address is "Box 163, Bloom County, N.I., 12460," which would place it 30 miles southwest of Albany, New York. In another strip, Opus tried to buy an airline ticket to De Moines, balking at the large cost and saying that De Moines is 94 miles away. That would place Bloom County in either Iowa or Missouri. In a Sunday strip with L.H. Puttgrass, he was seen holding a King Scoopers bag, which would mean the town is in Colorado. Cartoonist Berkeley Breathed stated on Facebook that "The Bloom County boarding house still sits in beautiful hayseedless Iowa City, home for this cartoonist for four years."
