I had a website with 2 domains like these: firstdomain.com and first-domain.com.

The main domain was first-domain.com and the other one was 301 redirected to first one.
The main domain got a Google Penguin penalty some months ago. I uploaded the site on an new domain and removed Google index of old domain by using the remove URL tool in Webmaster Tools. Now, I want to use firstdomain.com (which was redirected to the penalized domain) for a new and fresh website with new and perfect content.

Is it probable that history of this domain affects the new website and harms its ranking?

I would see what links are pointing to firstdomain.com. If you got a Google Penguin adjustment because of bad links pointing to first-domain.com then that wont affect firstdomain.com, unless the same links also point there too. If firstdomain.com is free of links because it was never marketed then you would be pretty safe from Penguin .
