Took me forever to figure this one out, and never saw this solution on any search. The issue is iCloud syncing your Safari favorites and history across all of your devices. You can clear your history on iPad until the cows come home, but it will just keep re-syncing with your other devices. Go into Settings on your iPad, select iCloud and de-select Safari to stop syncing.
