Several individual conferences allowed the 3-point shot, beginning with the Southern Conference in 1980. The NCAA allowed it in all schools in 1986.
The NBA adopted the 3 point line at the start of the 1979-1980 season, which is of variable distance, ranging from 22 feet (6.7 m) in the corners to 23.75 feet.
The ABA adopted it in 1967. The NBA adopted it in 1979. The NCAA Southern Conference adopted it in 1980. It was adopted nation wide by the NCAA in 1986.

The NCAA's Southern Conference became the first collegiate conference to use the three-point rule, adopting a 22-foot line in 1980. Over the following five years, NCAA conferences differed in their use of the rule and the distance they required for a three-point shot. The NCAA adopted the 19-foot, 9-inch line nationally in 1986. On May 3, 2007 the NCAA rules committee decided to lengthen the three point line to 20 feet 9 inches. This rule will come into effect at the beginning of the 2008-09 season. J.J. Redick currently holds the NCAA Division I record with 457 three-point field goals while shooting 40.4% from three-point range for his career.
I believe that Julio Pedraza was the first person to make the 3 point shot.
