Why does a ball drop greet in the New Year?

Here's the probably surprising reason and its origin:

I'd also recommend checking out the Bowery Boys episode about the history of New Year's Eve celebrations in NYC if anyone is interested: http://www.boweryboyshistory.com/2015/12...s-eve.html

They also have some nice historic photos / videos on their site too.
