I looked at CLLocation and see that I can get current location or start tracking location but all I need is the history.

Is it possible to get the frequent locations history?
What you see in the Location & Maps Programming Guide is what you get. No you cannot access the OS's list of places the user has been, for obvious privacy reasons. You can define your own locations and do CLVisit tracking. That's what the article you linked is talking about I think.
