1907.

"1907 – The New Year’s Eve Ball first descended from a flagpole at One Times Square, constructed with iron and wood materials with 100 25-watt bulbs weighing 700 pounds (320 kg) and measuring 5 feet (1.5 m) in diameter. At first, it dropped 1 second after midnight."

See, at first the idea was to present a glowing ball to New York every year. Then, the very first time, as the guy was making his way to the stage he tripped and dropped the ball. Embarrassed, they decided to pretend that was the plan all along. Thus, the legend was born.

I totally made the story up (but it's good, right?)
