The general notions of locally homogeneous manifolds and their classification go back to Lie and É.\ Cartan. In the CR setting, there are various precise ways to formulate a definition of a locally homogeneous CR manifold; the equivalence of these definitions was shown by \textit{D. Zaitsev} [Asian J. Math. 11, No.~2, 331--340 (2007; Zbl 1138.32018)]. This paper offers a classification of \(4\)-dimensional locally homogeneous CR manifolds, giving an interesting list of normal forms for real analytic, CR generic, codimension \(2\) submanifolds of \({\mathbb C}^3\). The authors describe this case as intermediate between the previously known classification of locally homogeneous real hypersurfaces in \({\mathbb C}^2\) and the corresponding, but still open, problem for hypersurfaces in \({\mathbb C}^3\). Some of the model manifolds are ``symmetric'' CR-manifolds, as defined by \textit{W. Kaup} and \textit{D. Zaitsev} [Adv. Math. 149, No.~2, 145--181 (2000; Zbl 0954.32016], and the classification problem for the symmetric case is also discussed.
