What State did this occur in?
Specifically, AL, CA, CO, CT, DE, DC, HI, IL, ME, MA, MD, NJ, NY, NC, OR, PA (state agencies only), VT, VA and WA.
If you're in any of those states, you need to call the labor board in your state and file a report. In those states it's strictly illegal to ask for your past salary history, let alone make it a condition of continuing an interview.
Not sure about the downvotes, OP indicated he was asked salary history. Which depending upon where it occurred could be illegal.

Most people are focusing on the salary expectations part, which is legal and normal.

Op made it clear the expectation from the interview was that salary history was to be provided.
If I was OP I would have countered that I want the range.
Luckily I live in a state that's very serious about this. Employers are required to provide the range, and are prohibited from requesting my salary history.

This right here. If it was one of these states, you need to take further action.
