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.
His dad was a scientist developing the Warp 5 engine, so I'd guess somewhere which either has a major STEM university or a research lab. Some options would include: Ithaca- Cornell University Rochester- Rochester Institute of Technology Rome- US Air Force Rome Lab Syracuse - Syracuse University
Those are some pretty solid options. I like the idea of Ithaca. Cornell is a good school. Plus, it would be weird if Captain Archer had a Rochester accent
