I just graduated with a history major in June. Last winter, I applied to, and was accepted into, several history graduate programs, with the intention of one day hopefully becoming a professor. The one thing that led me to end up deciding on a different field for graduate school was that my advisor (the head of our history department) told me that positions in history are very very rare right now. The ratio is something like 500+ applicants for every one opening...and that's one opening at all, not even tenure-track or necessarily in your field or desired location. Definitely something to keep in mind...Hope this can provide you with some insight. Feel free to PM me if you'd like any more information!
