History and Physics are pretty vanilla! Most good universities will probably have a good History and Physics department.

Brown University
Columbia University
Cornell University
Duke University
Harvard University
Massachusetts Institute of Techology (Political Science rather than History)
Northwestern University
Princeton University
Rice University
Stanford University
University of California-Berkeley
University of California-Los Angeles
University of Chicago
University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Pennsylvania
University of Texas-Austin
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Yale University

I know you said you would rather have a large university, but some smaller colleges offer amazing offerings in many traditional majors like History or Physics. Schools like Amherst, Carleton, Dartmouth, Harvey Mudd, Haverford, Pomona, Swarthmore etc…

In short, you have a lot of options. Focus on fit rather than department quality.
