All the bios just say is that he was born in Upstate New York, and lived a majority of his life in San Francisco.

The reason I’m asking, is because I came up with an idea to do some sightseeing: visit the birth places of Star Trek characters.

I started to do some research, and discovered that there isn’t a concrete hometown for Captain Archer. Only that he was born in Upstate New York.

So, what city do you think it is? If I were to guess, I would say Syracuse, or Ticonderoga.

    We do know that Archer is probably from Utica, or at least not from Albany, given that he’s never seen using the phrase “steamed hams” to refer to hamburgers.

      “Computer: two steamed hams, hot.”

      Yes I know replicators weren’t available in Archer’s time, but still, it would be a fun scene.

      “Good lord, what is happening in there?”

      “Aurora Borealis.”

      “Aurora Borealis? During this shift, on this stardate, in this part of the quadrant, localized entirely within your holodeck simulation of the NX-01?”

      “Yes!”

      “May I see it?”

      “…Computer, end program.”
