With "history section", you mean a section describing the history of the
page? The GFDL does not discuss such a section.

Instead, it specifies a 'section Entitled "History"', which is defined
as "a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely
[History] or contains [History] in parentheses following text that
translates [History] in another language." The original content of this
section is irrelevant to the license; only the title matters.

An example of such a section Entitled "History" is for example
[[London#History]]. If you create a derived work of [[London]], you have
to include that section, and add your name to it (presumably under
===Rise of modern London===). And if you consider Wikipedia to be one
document, you have to add your own name to [[History]], when
republishing it.

That's what the GFDL says.
