Because it is a story from Greek mythology to explain the existence of seasons, I do not believe there was an actually year when Hades took Persephone.
The myth itself states that Persephone was taken by Hades while away from her mother, Demeter, Goddess of the Grain, and brought down into the underworld to be his bride and his queen. While there Persephone was tricked into eating pomegrante seeds by a boy she had teased while in the world of the living. In most tellings of this myth she ate 6 seeds, but depending on where the myth was told/derived from, the number is different because the lengths of the seasons were different.
Because she ate while in the underworld she had to stay with Hades for the number of months corresponding to the number of seeds she ate. Demeter was extremely saddened by the loss of her daughter and refused to help anything grow or be fruitful during the months when Persephone is in the underworld. However, when Persephone's months in the underworld are over and she returns to spend the remainder of the year with her mother, spring begins and Demeter allows the land to be fertile again.
