A Town History Painted With Pride

Parks and Recreation, which aired from 2009 to 2015, is set in Pawnee, a fictional town in Indiana. Amy Poehler plays Leslie Knope, deputy director of the parks department, who loves her town and its history and proudly guides visitors through City Hall.

The halls are lined with murals that celebrate Pawnee's past, but many show awkward, violent or embarrassing moments, including conflicts with the fictional Wamapoke tribe. The joke is that the town treats its grim history as heroic, while Leslie praises each painting with enthusiasm.

Pawnee's quirks include a rivalry with wealthy Eagleton, the candy company Sweetums, the beloved miniature horse Li'l Sebastian and Leslie's devotion to waffles at JJ's Diner. Eagleton later merges with Pawnee, and the murals remain a favorite running gag.
