\textit{P. J. Olver} [Equivalences, Invariants and Symmetry (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge) (1995; Zbl 0837.58001)] classified all non-equivalent transitive Lie algebras of vector fields in \(\mathbb R^2\). In the present paper, the authors locally classify all torsion-less locally homogeneous affine connections on two-dimensional manifolds from a group-theoretical approach. Namely, for each specific transitive algebra \(A\) of vector fields from Olver's classification, the authors look for all affine connections for which A is an affine Killing algebra. Olver's tables are presented at the end of the paper. A remark: the authors used the software Maple V Release 4.
