It depends on how big the event is. Events such as the assassination of JFK or Neil Armstrong walking on the moon or 9/11 were "instant" history in that they were huge, known instantly to just about everyone on the planet and made a significant impact on our lives.
If it's an event such as the birth of George Washington in 1732, then of course it's not going to be known publicly or become historically important until many years later. When he was born, no one knew at the time he would one day become the first US President.
