"Historia" in Spanish can mean, in English, either "story" or "history." The automatic online translators seem to always use "history." I assume that's partially because there are two different meanings for the word "story" in American English -- the other one, referring to buildings, is "piso" or "planta" in Spanish. (It's "storey" in British English, which cuts down on the confusion.)
There's another Spanish word for a short story, "cuento," but since my Spanish knowledge comes mainly from driving through certain neighborhoods in certain U.S. cities, I wouldn't know when it's appropriate to use "cuento" instead of "historia." (I've actually taken classes in French, which has the same issue -- "histoire" means both "story" and "history," and "?tage" means "story/storey.")
In conclusion: the original poster meant "BE stories." Nothing to do with "history" in the way you're thinking of it.
