As quoted from the movie "Forrest Gump", "We lived about a quarter mile off Route 17, about half a mile from the town of Greenbow, Alabama. That's in the county of Greenbow."
The city of Greenbow, in the county of Greenbow, as Forrest liked to say, was entirely fictional. Many of the scenes were filmed in Varnville, SC. But as with many movies, there are many different locations used. The character Forrest Gump was well-travelled so a diverse collection of locations were needed.

The movie "Forrest Gump" spanned more than thirty years, from the early 1950s to the early 1980s. We first meet Forrest when he is about seven years old. We can assume he is roughly the same age as Jenny. We know from her gravestone that she was born in 1945 and died in 1982. The main setting for the movie "Forrest Gump" is Forrest's hometown of Greenbow, Alabama. Secondary locations for the movie are Savannah, Georgia, Vietnam, New York City and Washington, D.C. There are also scenic shots across America from when Forrest did his coast-to-coast run.
