History is the singular, histories is the plural. A lot of people mistakenly use the singular when it should be the plural, however.
Let me give you an example:
England has a strong naval history. - England is singular, therefore 'history' is used.
England and France have strong naval histories. - Two separate histories belonging to two different countries, so the plural is used.
One patient's medical history, but two patients' medical histories.
