The bay was reclaimed from the north shore, and large-scale reclamation projects include Okishinden in the 17th century, Kojoshinden in the 19th century, Fujita Reclamation (Fujita Farm) by Fujita Group in the Meiji period, and Districts 6 and 7 after World War II. The reclamation project ended with the completion of District 7 in 1963.
