From NOAA's Web site:
"The Antarctic Ozone Hole was discovered by the British Antarctic Survey from data obtained with a ground-based instrument from a measuring station at Halley Bay, Antarctica, in the 1981-1983 period. "
Other governments questioned this discovery and doubted that the British scientists had truly made any kind of a 'discovery' -- it was that unbelievable that there would be a hole in this protective layer surrounding earth.
In 1986 and 1987, other government-funded scientists confirmed that the hole indeed formed over the continent when the sun rose -- typically in September, October and November.

The ozone layer was postulated in 1880 by Hartley (the Hartley absorption bands), and expected to be above the troposphere. In 1921 Dobson and Lindeman noted the temperature rise at the bottom of the stratosphere, and surmised it was caused by UV absorption by ozone there. In 1919 and 1920, Fabry and Buisson designed a spectrograph and made the first total column ozone measurements (and they were correct as to how much ozone was present).
