Morphology
The meaning 'a past extending over a considerable period' is directly and compositionally derived from 'long' (extending in time) modifying 'history' (past events). This adjective + noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Long history gives a simple picture: imagine a very long book filled with past events, each page a year. Because long means 'a lot of time' and history means 'past events', the phrase is used to say something has a 'long past' or many years of tradition.
