Historical events in the suttas

This one came to mind as well: AN8.8

From the blurb:

In a discourse evidently set some time after the Buddha’s passing, Venerable Uttara, staying in a distant land, teaches that a mendicant should review their own failings and those of others. Questioned by Sakka, the Lord of Gods, Uttara affirms that he learned this from the Buddha.
