Which history are we talking about, here? Are you talking about the Bash command history or the buffer showing all the text that was in the window that you can scroll up and down? If it's the latter, that always gets cleared when you close the window. If it's the former, that's a Bash issue, not a terminal issue. The GNOME terminal doesn't pay attention to that at all. As far as how you fix the Bash issue... no idea. At least you may have better success if you search for "bash history" rather than searching for terminal issues.
