The city the game is set in is Cave Junction, a real town in Oregon a friend and I have massively overhauled using some speculative history and changes in local geography to make it a large city. I wanted a city in the pacific northwest I could write mostly from the ground up, while also making it somewhat plausible for it to exist.

A brief history of the city:

Founded in the 1850s by pioneers, gold was discovered in the nearby mountains shortly after the town was established. A gold rush followed, leading to a railroad running through the town and rapid growth, which led to vampires following the kine, smelling new territory to control. Soon, most of the gold in the mountains was completely plundered, leading to a short period of stalled growth before much larger veins of other metals such as nickel, iron, chromium, and copper were discovered. Industry and ports popped up along the river, due to access to the Pacific allowing for shipments to and from California and the East. The town's economy is still mostly based on its industries and mining.

As for its vampiric history, its first prince was an Archbishop of the Lancea Sanctum, who eventually succumbed to madness and was deposed by the Primogen during the 40s. The prince who came after was an ancilla only ruled for a few short decades, but his rule was one of unchecked incompetence and despotism, embarrassing the Invictus to the point where they still heavily censor any discussion of him. He was killed and replaced by the current prince, a venerable Invictus Gangrel named Hashim al-Malik ibn Tafwiq, after he allowed the Sun-Walking Knights into the city. The Knights had promised to kill the Carthians, but instead absorbed many of them into their covenant and rapidly established a power base that threatened much of the status quo. 

One of Hashim's first acts as prince was to give only a single seat on the Primogen to every covenant in the city, including the Holy Engineers - who most consider to be worthless lunatics - and Sun-Walking Knights - who most consider to be backstabbers and dangerous radicals. Many vampires hold this against him to this day, though his expert politicking has kept his rule fairly secure for decades.

High ranks in Politics, Occult, Academics, Streetwise, or Status will get you additional information about the city and history/status of your covenant.
