  • Altcoins like BCH copy both code and blockchain of bitcoin. The "blockchain" is the entire history that is copied to the alternative chain hence this transaction from 2011 is also copied and exists in original chain and the copy of it.

The BCH chain shares all of the BTC history up until the point of the fork. If you're using the same address for BCH that you did for BTC in the past, any pre-fork BTC transactions will also appear as BCH transactions.
