Date picker dates before 1900

It appears we can now rapidly select a year in the calendar control, but it only goes back to 1900. I need to go as far back as the 1800’s. There is a way to set a date range prior to 1900, but it’s a pain because you have to click the < icon 123 years to reach the 1800’s. That’s 123 x 12 for a total of 1476 clicks.
