=== Archie and Riverdale ===
{{Main|Archie Andrews}}
''Archie'' is set in the fictional small town of Riverdale.

The ''New York Times'' postulated that "the cartoonist Bob Montana inked the original likenesses of Archie and his pals and plopped them in an idyllic Midwestern community named Riverdale because Mr. Goldwater, a New Yorker, had fond memories of time spent in [[Hiawatha, Kansas]]."<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/15/nyregion/the-battle-for-a-comic-empire-that-archie-built.html | work=The New York Times | first=Robin | last=Finn | title=The Battle for a Comic Empire That Archie Built | date=April 13, 2012}}</ref> However, others have noted resemblance between Riverdale and [[Haverhill, Massachusetts]], where Bob Montana attended [[Haverhill High School]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.wbur.org/artery/2015/05/30/archie-betty-haverhill-geary |title=A Search For The Real Life Archie, Betty, And Friends Began In Haverhill |author=Andrea Shea |date=May 30, 2015 |work=WBUR |access-date=May 16, 2020}}</ref>
