I have found it challenging to learn much about local history because most locals don't think of it as important. It usually takes a bit of effort to get them to explain and to show. However, once started... it often becomes unstoppable! You hear the best stories, find the most "real" places to eat/drink, etc. It's quite nice and worth the effort. Forget the tourist traps. Explore the real stuff. :)
