District 12 was Katniss and Peeta's home District and Katniss was the main reason for causing the rebellion. The Capitol destroyed the District, in turn destroying many people that Katniss knew and loved, in hopes to try and break her and prevent the rebellion from becoming too large.

It was also a way of the Capitol showing their power. In the Dark Days Rebellion before the Games started, they managed to win the war by bombing District 13, which scared the other Districts into surrender. I assume they thought that blowing up District 12 would have the same effect, but Katniss isn't a push over!

Why did Panem start having The Hunger Games?

The Hunger Games are, most basically, everlasting punishment of the districts for rebelling in the Dark Days, 74 years before the first book takes place. In the Dark Days, all 13 districts rebelled against the Capitol in protest of unfair, biased treatment towards some districts. The Capitol defeated twelve of the districts, and completely obliterated District 13 because it alone had the power to fully destroy all of Panem with nuclear weapons. In most basic terms, the Capitol plucks the citizens' children right out from under them, and nobody can do anything to prevent or fight this because the Capitol is fully capable of extinguishing them just like they did District 13. In the eyes of the Capitol, it was the only way to control the country.
