The Naismith Hall of Fame was established in 1959 by Lee Williams.
Established by Lee Williams in the 1960s, the Basketball Hall of Fame had troubles with funding from the beginning. Regardless of the hardship the place was officially opened in Feb. 17, 1968. The Basketball Hall of Fame's Board named four inductees in its first year. During the time of 1979, the Hall of Fame sponsored the Tip-Off Classic, which is known to be a college basketball exhibition.
Popularity began to grow and grow where up until 1985, the erection to an $11 million facility was constructed. Years after the construction, the Basketball Hall of Fame's second facility drew far more visitors than ever anticipated, due to both the incredible architecture but also the rising popularity of the game itself.
