About us:

• Located on the roof of One Times Square building, a ball that is a prominent part of a New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square is used for commonly referred to as the ball drop event, it is where the ball descends a specially designed flagpole, beginning at 11:59:00 p.m. ET, and resting at midnight to signal the start of the new year.
• In 1903, The New York Times newspaper was about to open its new headquarters, the city’s second tallest building, in what was then known as Longacre Square. The paper’s owner, Adolph Ochs, decided to commemorate their opening with mid-night fireworks show on the roof of the building on December 31, 1903, and this is when the ball drop was created.
