I outline the (short) history of the study of the nearest known young stars that are the potential hosts of orbiting, planet-forming disks and newborn planetary systems, and summarize the methodology involved in (and accelerating pace of) the identification of such systems. I then focus on the handful of increasingly well-studied “young solar system analogs” that lie within ~100 pc, with particular emphasis on the new discovery space that is now being opened by subarcsecond-resolution imaging with ALMA and extreme AO cameras on large ground-based optical/IR telescopes.
