I read that Euler found the first solution to the three body problem in 1765: three point masses all in a line. In 1772, Lagrange found a second: three point masses at the corners of an equilateral triangle. Apparently there have been no new analytic solutions since then.

It looks like chapter 5 of this book might discuss these.
