In the simplest of terms elongated toilets allow for more room for body part clearance when a person, especially men are sitting on the toilet. With rounded bowls there is not enough room for a mans penis to fit and many times while sitting on a rounded toilet a man may urinate straight out of the bowl and down the outside or onto his clothes. Additionally of a person is over weight elongated toilets allow for more room over all and create a comfort level that rounded small bowl toilets can not. for further info read my blog (see my bio for details) for an article about elongated and ADA height toilets.

What was the reason for an elongated toilet?

Though it does sound a bit vulgar to say it, since you asked... Larger men have difficulty fitting their genitals into standard round toilet bowls. They tend to contact the inner surface of the bowl, which is both very unpleasant and unsanitary. In order to keep this from happening, they generally have to sit at an uncomfortable angle and too far back on the seat... which can also cause other unpleasant problems. The proliferation of elongated toilets is very much appreciated. A second reason for elongated toilets is they are often perceived as "higher end", for when you are remodeling or installing a bathroom in an expensive house.
