There is a short history in the README that I think goes to 2007 or 2008. Mateusz also has an extensive history of the polys module in his thesis. You could also glean a lot from the GSoC reports (http://code.google.com/p/sympy/w/list?q=label:GSoC) and (https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/gsoc-2011-report), since a good portion of the features in SymPy were implemented from these projects. Otherwise, Ondrej will be the best person to ask about the history, since he's the one who started it all.
