The First Drop: New Year's Eve Ball History
The New Year's Eve Ball is a prominent symbol associated with the celebration of New Year's Eve in Times Square, New York City. The most famous New Year's Eve Ball drop takes place at the Times Square Ball Drop event, which has become a global tradition.
The Times Square Ball is a large, illuminated ball that descends from the flagpole atop One Times Square at midnight on December 31 to mark the beginning of the new year. The tradition dates back to 1907 when the first ball drop took place to welcome the year 1908. The original ball was made of iron and wood and was adorned with 100 light bulbs.
