The history of theoretical models of auroral phenomena is traced, with an emphasis on the auroral oval (AO) concept introduced by Feldstein in 1961 on the basis of IGY observations. Consideration is given to early theories, the two-auroral-zone model of Alfven, the organization and operation of the IGY network of over 100 all-sky cameras, the basic principles of the AO model, and the arguments favoring the AO over the alternative model of two quasi-circular zones. 37 references.
