Obviously its stored in a file. Where?

But, if you want / need to preserve the history from several terminals, there
are ways to do it, for example, set a different $HISTFILE for each terminal.
Or this in .bashrc?
# append to the history file, don't overwrite it
shopt -s histappend
PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a;$PROMPT_COMMAND"
