Along with being a tradition, it also brings in a LOT of money for Manhattan.
The ball has been dropped in Times Square since 1907, but the concept of it began in England as per this web site:

Realistically you will on no account be at your hotel in the past 7pm after bags reclaim and the taxi into manhattan with site visitors noticeably for NYE. i might touch your hotel in spite of the undeniable fact which you're able to desire to bear in mind restraunts are probable to be very very busy as its probable whilst time sq. is at its busyness. To me i might say the two eat or attempt and get a great place. At 7pm its very no longer likely you will be able to attain the two. Do talk on your hotel to be sure what they are able to propose yet do bear in mind whilst making plans everywhere would be busy so overplay a while frames. +quarter-hour onto taxi time for site visitors, +quarter-hour for foodstuff service etc Have a large time in manhattan Very Jealous from London

Yeah, it's pretty pointless isn't it? It's just a tradition, and a dumb one at that.
