Happy New Year, Hammie! joezhou300 is correct. The first New Year’s Eve Ball lowering celebration atop One Times Square was in 1907. This proud tradition is now a universal symbol of the New Year. The New Year’s Eve Ball is the property of the building owners of One Times Square. http://www.timessquarebid.org/new_year/BallFactSheet.htm Jan 01 04, 2:56 AM
