Lore
In lore, the modern Cirno Bay has existed since the early 1900s. However, the settlements that make up Cirno Bay has existed since the pre-industrial times, with Yukimura being the most important pre-industrial settlement.
After the modern Cirno Bay was formed, it grew massively thanks to the policies enacted by Shigeru Tsujitani, the first mayor.

At around 1:00 UTC in August 14, 2021, Harbor won the DM position with 7 votes compared to Yukari's 3 votes. Before that, the mayor wanted to choose between Harbor and Yukari and was stuck between those two, hence the DM elections. Harbor pledged to give Cirno Bay a heli connection if he won the election and Yukari pledged that he will "let the mayor freeze as many frogs in New Gensokyo". It also included mi_aquamarine who wanted the DM position, which the mayor didn't consider.

However, due to urbanization of the surrounding areas and decline of the industry sector in Cirno Bay, Kawashiro Industries left the city and relocated to another city. This left behind many abandoned industrial buildings and after many years, it underwent gentrification and the former Kawashiro HQ and its buildings were turned into luxury residences.

Trivia
If you look down on Chuuou Ward, you may sometimes see ice lakes below ground. This is a result of the mayor not being [Trustee] yet.
Despite using the Japanese wards and districts system, it uses the Western house numbering system.
There are an extensive amount of references to Touhou Project. This is not limited to its town name, it also influenced the street names, the geography around it and even the small details around the town.
Its motto is "The city of everlasting ice and snow". It was coined by the mayor just hours after founding.
This city could be possibly the "strongest city of MRT". Whether the claim has yet to be verified.
