December 1907, However they did not drop a ball 1942 or 1943 due to the wartime restriction.
Happy New Year!
I saw this question previously (somewhere else) and answered 1907…then, it occurred to me that if the celebration was on New Year’s Eve 12/31/07, the ball probably didn’t drop until after midnight–making it 1908. I’ll be eager to find out the true answer 😉
Happy New Year!
1907
Although the Times Square celebration began in 1904, the first ball drop didn’t occur until New Year’s Eve 1907.

1904. But the first Ball Drop didn’t happen until 1907. Since 1907, the ball has been dropped from One Times Square every year, except in 1942 and 1943 due to wartime restrictions on lighting in New York City.
