Absolutely, the history is retained. Subversion is designed to always
preserve history—to make it largely impossible to lose anything. I
don't think there's any svn command that can lose history (other than
setting revision properties, but that feature has to be explicitly
enabled on the server side if it's desired). svnadmin commands, on
the other hand, can lose history (like dumping and then reloading a
subset), which is why they must be performed by an admin with local
access to the server's filesystem.
