The New Year's Eve ball descended down the flagpole at One Times Square for the first time on December 31, 1907. New Year's 2008 marks the 100th anniversary of the New Year's Eve ball dropping. The only years since 1907 when the ball was not dropped were 1942 and 1943 (due to the suspension of lighting throughout the city because of the war).
