People were making trips to Mecca before Islam. Mohammed destroyed all the "gods' that were there to establish the ONE God as Supreme.

Officially Hajj started when the prophet Muhammad performed the first Hajj, thereby showing the Muslims what and how to do it.

Before this the area around the Kaba was more a market place for anyone.

The pilgrimage occurs from the 8th to 12th (or in some cases 13th) of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar and the Islamic year is about eleven daysshorter than the Gregorian year, the Gregorian date of Hajj changes from year to year.
