As part of a reorganization of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), Commission 4 (Ephemerides) went out of existence after the IAU General Assembly in August 2015. This paper presents brief discussions of some of the developments in fundamental astronomy that have influenced and been influenced by the work of Commission 4 over its 96-year history. The paper also presents notes about some of the publications of the national institutions that have played an essential role in the commission's mission. The contents of this paper were submitted for Commission 4's final report, to appear in IAU Transactions Vol. XXIX-A.
