A note on the history of the Poisson process
Antiquitates Mathematicae, Tome 13 (2019).
This note reviews how the contemporary concept of the Poisson process (sometimes called the Poisson random measure or Poisson point process) evolved through out the time up to recent times. That is from F. Lundberg and W. Feller up to A. Renyi (1967) paper and finally, a construction of Poisson processes by binomial (or Bernoulli) processes, which can be found in J.E. Moyal (1962), J. Mecke (1967) and J.F. Kingman (1967) papers. Also in C. Ryll-Nardzewski (1953) this construction was used in the proof of Theorem for homogeneous Poisson processes.
