OpenStreetMap
Is there any way to get the history of a specific POI? My area seems to be pretty dead as far as other contributors go. All I see in the history for the last month is bots fixing things for large sections of the country. But there are just a couple of local business that were just built within the last few months that ARE in OSM. I'm just curious as to how they got there. Is there a way to view the entire history for a given item? I don't see anything like that in POTLATCH. I haven't played with JOSM very much. I may take another look at that tonight.

Click on the '+' icon in the top right corner, and check the 'Data' check box, then zoom in on the feature. On the left side pane you can select an individual feature and click 'show history'

Aha! Thank you sir! Turns out I recognize the user name of the person in question and know them IRL!

In Potlach select the POI and press the h key. This will open a list of all available versions.
Or select the POI, remember its id and enter a URL like this one in your browser (but use your POI id instead of the number given here):
