When I create my historical league in 1871... I go to the advance options before finalizing it to select "use real transaction" and the transaction will work fine (if you don't select the option before you won't be able to use it until 1901.
Of course you must manually change the teams and league format every seasons until 1901 or it won't work. After a season when the game created it's new structure compare with the real season and correct everything, by example in 1872 Rockford become Baltimore which isn't true so what you must do is wrote the historical team and franchise id for the Baltimore team and rewrote everything back with the Rockford info (you left both id empty since you will delete the team January first), when this is done create a new team for Baltimore with the id you wrote before. Don't forgot to move the rookie players to BAL who will be with ROK (in that case there isn't one) and don't forget to load the correct schedule and move all the teams in their correct leagues.
This sound complicated but after a while you get use to it... just backup your league before the off season so you will be able to restart if you do an error.
The image is all the teams who were in my league (1871 / 1913) and as you can see everything is historically accurate (except for the win/loss record and championship of course).
