The old location is part of the history of the folder. As new changes
appear in the new location, those changes will show the new path. Older
changes that happened in the older location will show the old path.
Perhaps you're using something other than the command line client?
Perhaps the UI is making this confusing?
svn log has a "--stop-on-copy" option that will show you the history of
the changes only in the current location.

Subversion will not lose your older changes, even if you delete the old
path. All that deleting the old path does is remove the reference to the
contents for current and future versions of the parent folder. Older
versions of the parent folder still contain the older version of the
child folder.
You might benefit from understanding the difference between the "peg"
and "operative" versions.
