[Solved] : Chrome Browser History Location

Chrome browser stores the history of visited sites in a file aptly named "History".
This file along the rest of the configuration files for Chrome are purposefully hidden deeply in user directory so as to protect them from accidental modification. The exact location for Windows 10 installed in the C: drive is the following : 
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

Note that "UserName" is the name of your Windows account and "Default" is the directory when no Chrome profiles have been created. If there are Chrome profiles then there would be a directory for each Chrome profile and the history for each profile would be in the appropriate directory. i.e. for the Chrome profile "UserProfile" it would be :
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\UserProfile
