History of specific domain name

I am interested in buying a domain name which someone else owns but does not use.
There can be legitimate reasons for this. I have tried to contact the current owner, but she has not responded. Now I am curious to know for how long that domain name has not been used or if it has been used at all.
Do you know if there is a way to see the history of a given domain name?
You can try the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine but there's no promise that is covers everything or that it has anything. It's not as if there's a version control system to go check on a specific domain name. The web doesn't work that way.
Thanks.
There was indeed a record of the domain I am looking at.
But does your comment mean that even there is a record, I cannot trust that it is complete (for the given domain name)?
Maybe you are looking for the whois command?
whois trisquel.info
That brings up some information about the trisquel domain.
But that information shows current ownership, not historical, and provides no indication of "usage" as the OP wanted.
