LibreOffice was forked from OpenOffice after Oracle bought it. The community switched over to LibreOffice, so it's not like OpenOffice has a longer history than LibreOffice. They have the same history for the first years before the fork, and OpenOffice essentially died as a community project after the fork. |

It depends on your point of view. IIRC, LibreOffice is actually a fork/continuation of the go-oo project (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Go-oo&oldid=10809...), which is older and already existed before Oracle bought Sun.
What happened later is that LibreOffice was rebased on top of the re-licensed Apache OpenOffice, to take advantage of the more compatible licensing. But it had been forked (as go-oo) from OpenOffice much earlier.
