I forget what the rules are. if the next word starts with a vowel it's an. Same thing with the word the. If the next word starts with a vowel it's thee. Or maybe I have it backwards. Who knows!

If the next word phonetically starts with a vowel, it takes "an". How you spell it doesn't mean shit, it's how you pronounce it that counts.

That's why "hour" has "an" (because the H is silent, so the "o" is the first sound), but "unicorn" has "a" (because the first sound, when pronounced, is a "y" sound).

And by that rule, "a historic" is correct. Unless your accent / dialect doesn't pronounce the "H", in which case "an" would be correct.
