Mayberry is the name of a fictional town in North Carolina which was the setting for the American television show The Andy Griffith Show.
Many towns in North Carolina have been proposed as "the original Mayberry," but it is most likely that the town was loosely based on Andy Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy, North Carolina. Due to the success of the television show, "Mayberry" has been used as a term for both idyllic small town life and for rural simplicity (both good and ill).
The fictional town of Mayberry originated in an episode of The Danny Thomas Show and was the setting of both The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry RFD.
