This is fairly common for DHCP servers. They store information about
previous leases so that the same client can then get the same IP.

If your router is a closed box, then nobody here is going to be able to
tell you how to remove this old info from it. 

All this said, if having a known, static IP address is a real
requirement, then you have two choices:

1) Configure a static IP address on your box instead of using DHCP. In
the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file, you will need to
have BOOTPROTO=static and add IPADDR & NETMASK lines. Just make sure the
IPADDR you choose is outside the range of any that will be assigned by
your router. If you are using NetworkManager, then I believe you can
(and should) configure the IP address through that.

2) Configure the DHCP server to assign a specific address to your
specific MAC address. You will need to consult the manual for your
router for information on how to do that.
