Mayberry is a fictional community that was the setting for two popular , The Andy Griffith Show (1960–1968) and Mayberry R.F.D. (1968–1971); Mayberry was also the setting for a 1986 reunion titled Return to Mayberry. The town is also frequently mentioned in the spin-off program Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., and is seen when Pyle returns to visit his home town. Mayberry is said to be based on 's hometown of Mount Airy, North Carolina. Mount Airy is also known as Mayberry and called by both names by its residents.


The name "Mayberry"
According to show episodes, the community of Mayberry was named for fictional founder John Mayberry. In the 1964 episode “The Pageant,” Mayberry celebrates its centennial, implying its founding was in 1864. Purportedly, himself chose the name of the fictional community. Griffith, however, told in 2003 that Artie Stander is the person who thought of the name Mayberry; Stander was one of the show's creators and writers.

"Mayberry" is mentioned many times in television shows such as , House, , Supernatural, How I Met Your Mother, FROM, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Scrubs. According to the episode "The Battle of Mayberry," the town was almost named Taylortown in honor of Colonel Carleton Taylor, who was one of the first settlers in the town.


Specific features
Mayberry had one traffic light and little in the way of indigenous crime with the exception perhaps of and . Speeding was also mentioned in the area, like that on Highway 6 in the fourth season episode "Barney's Sidecar." Out-of-town bank robbers, scam artists, escaped convicts, and vagrants occasionally found their way to Mayberry. The county and the town share the same name and jurisdiction. In episode 44 "Sheriff Barney," the mayor of nearby Greendale relates that Mayberry County has had the lowest crime rate in the state for two years in a row under Sheriff Taylor. The town only had one long-distance telephone line, as referenced in the episode "Man in a Hurry," that two old ladies shared each Sunday preventing others from using the telephone.

In the opening scene of season 8, episode 30 (the last episode), a sign at the railroad station lists the population and elevation of Mayberry:

Population: 5,360
Elevation: 671
However, this conflicts with the comment made by choir director John Masters to Andy Taylor, that "there's got to be a decent tenor in a town of two-thousand people" in the episode The Song Festers – season 4, episode 20. And, in season 7, episode 23 ("The Statue"), Howard Sprague refers to a population of 1,800.

Because the county and the town both have the same name, it's possible that the county's population is 5,360 and the town's is somewhere between 1,800 and 2,000.

Archetypal small town

Real-life models
Many assume Mayberry was loosely based on Andy Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy, North Carolina; however, Griffith has indicated that nearby Pilot Mountain, also in Surry County, North Carolina, inspired him in creating the town. Pilot Mountain likely was the inspiration for the fictional town of "Mount Pilot," a nearby larger town in relation to Mayberry, often referred to and occasionally visited by the characters in The Andy Griffith Show. The county seat of Surry County is in Dobson; thus, this is the location of the nearest courthouse to Mount Airy. One episode has a fictional nearby location – "Pierce County." Another episode has Barney Fife referring to Sheriff Taylor and himself as "the law west of Mount Pilot".

Other place names used in the show refer to actual places in North Carolina, such as Raleigh—which was also often called "Capital City" – Siler City, , , Chapel Hill, , Elm City and Charlotte. One of the stars of the show, Frances Bavier (who played Aunt Bee) retired to Siler City in real life. (Betty Lynn who played Thelma Lou retired to Mount Airy).

In episode 248 "A Girl for Goober," the towns of Manteo and Toast are mentioned. Andy Griffith owned a home in Manteo (on North Carolina's Atlantic coast), and Toast is about two miles outside of Mt. Airy in Surry County. Stokes County, which borders Surry County to the east, is mentioned as the location of Myers Lake in episode 140 "Andy and Helen Have Their Day."

In episode 62 "Cousin Virgil," the bus picks up Barney's cousin in Currituck. A is located in eastern North Carolina.

In episode 17 "Alcohol and Old Lace" while looking for moonshine stills, Barney suggests looking into Fancy Gap, Virginia, a town just across the state line from Mt. Airy.

In episode 60 "Bookie Barber," Aunt Bee states that Floyd's Barber Shop has received phone calls from as far away as Morehead City.

In episode 136 "Opie's Fortune," a man from Bannertown lost $50. Bannertown is a few miles from Mt. Airy in Surry County.

In episode 68 "Barney Mends a Broken Heart," the towns of Harnett and Yancey are mentioned. Both a and a are in North Carolina. In episode 3 "The Guitar Player" played by , who later played Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane on The Dukes of Hazzard, Best's character Jim Lindsey buys his guitar picks in , which is actually the nearest big city to Mount Airy (37 miles).

In Season 4, Episode 3 of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., (“Corporal Carol”) Gomer tells the corporal (played by Carol Burnett) that he is from Mayberry, North Carolina, “just a little bitty town about 30 miles outside of Raleigh.“


Origins and expansion
Mayberry originated in an episode of The Danny Thomas Show and was the setting for The Andy Griffith Show, Mayberry R.F.D., and the 1986 reunion film Return to Mayberry.


Eponymous real-life community
Mayberry is the name of a real community in , Virginia; located 22 miles northeast of Andy Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy, North Carolina. The Mayberry Trading Post, home of the Mayberry, Virginia post office until it closed in 1922, told local TV station that Griffith and his father made many trips to the Mayberry Trading Post.

  • Mayberry Security Bank – The town's only bank, was often subject to robberies. It contains a large vault, and its only security guard is a senile man named Asa, who is constantly sleeping and whose fall-apart dilapidated gun is filled with moldy bullets.

In popular culture
Due to the success and fame of the television show, "Mayberry" has been used as a term for both idyllic small-town life and for rural simplicity (for both good and ill).

In the song “Simple Life” (from the album God & Guns), there’s a line in the lyrics: “…put my feet up, watch a rerun on TV, Laughing with Ole Barney, Andy and Aunt Bee…”.

In the song called "Grandpa's Interview" on the album Greendale: "Shows with love and affection, Like mama used to say, A little Mayberry livin', Can go a long way."

The location of Mayberry and its large ensemble cast served as the inspiration for Springfield and its residents on .

In the film I Know What You Did Last Summer the character Helen Shivers refers to a sceptical local cop who refuses to believe her warnings as a “Mayberry ass reject” in exasperation.

"Home", the second episode of the fourth season of the television show , makes frequent references to Mayberry because of the size of the town in which the investigation takes place.

In the song "High-Tech Redneck" on the album of the same name, the town is mentioned: "He's a high-tech redneck, Mayberry meets ."
