This paper provides a detailed look at the development of the cluster of results that come under the heading of Perron-Frobenius. The author first examines Perron's research on continued fractions that led him to his discoveries about matrices. Frobenius' extension of Perron's results and parallel work by Markov are also considered. An appendix treats in more detail several of the proofs involved.
