Chicago was a large city located in the state of Illinois in the Earth nation-state the United States of America. It was located on the southwestern edge of Lake Michigan. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Chicago was considered a "well-rounded global city".[1]

The Jackson Center for Archaeology was located in Chicago. (Star Trek: Pendragon)

Scott Fack was born near Chicago in 1974. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "White Flag")

In the Pendragon timeline, Chicago was hit by one or more nuclear devices in a nuclear exchange during World War III in 2053. (Star Trek: Pendragon)

It is unclear whether Chicago was hit the same way in the Cantabrian timeline, or if the city was reconstructed as a near replica sometime after the strike, as the skyline appeared very similar to the way Scott Fack remembered it in the 20th century. Fack may have been mistaken. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "White Flag")

Richard Boswell was born in Chicago in 2331. (Star Trek: Remington)

Sometime between 2355 and 2357, during a break from Starfleet Academy, Liam de Gaillimhe took Fack to Chicago for a holiday. During this time, they walked along the lakefront at night (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "White Flag").

Chicago had a Starfleet Medical facility in the downtown area. In 2367, counselors Scott Fack, Richard Whitby and future USS Excelsior counselor Myra Elbrey were some of the counseling staff dealing with survivors and the families of victims of the Battle of Wolf 359. Three patients included Benjamin Sisko, his son Jake, and Corey Aster, who lost his parents. From at least early to mid-2367, Fack lived in Chicago and worked for Starfleet Medical's Chicago branch as a counselor.(Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Dream a Little Dream of Me")
