'''Lawndale''' is the suburb in which the events of the ''Daria'' TV series take place. Maps of the region may be found in ''[[The Daria Diaries]]'' ("Welcome to Lawndale") and online at MTV's Virtual Lawndale webpage (see "External Links").
For a small and apparently dull suburb, Lawndale boasts its own corporate park, the upper-class prep school [[Fielding]] and a country club, and [[Lawndale State University|its own university]].
The location of Lawndale is endlessly debated, and even the show's creators tended to keep it loose. Glenn Eichler suggested in an interview that it might be a suburb of Baltimore, Maryland, and this is a frequently used location for many fanfics whose authors caught the hint. However, evidence in the series and Eichler's further comments allow for other locations as well, possibly into eastern Pennsylvania near Philadelphia.
Lawndale is within reasonable driving distance of the coast (the Sloane's have a summer home there), somewhere with southern accents ("[[I Don't]]"; in the same interview, Eichler indicated this was Virginia), a rural desert with "cowboy" accents ("[[Speedtrapped]]"), and [[Camp Grizzly]].
The not-known-for sure city of which Lawndale is a suburb is only actually seen once in the series. Lawndale lacks tall buildings, but in [[Is It College Yet?]] when Mack goes to visit [[Andrew Landon|Jodie's father]], there are tall buildings seen out of the very high window of Mr. Landon's office. This location must be close to Lawndale because Mack came by to visit him before school.
