When I expand the address bar it shows sites I have visited in the past, how can I clear this?

When I go to my address bar and click on the small arrow to the right the bar expands to show sites I have visited in the past. The only problem is that these are sites I have visited a LONG time ago. I want to clear these sites and populate this drop down feature with more recent web sites I visit more frequently.

Thanks so much! That was exactly what I needed. But I do have a follow up question; how is it that items end up in your location bar history?
