    }).datepicker('option', 'onSelect', function () {
        $(this).removeClass('watermark');
    });

Answer 1

The documentation ( http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-yearRange ) states:

The range of years displayed in the year drop-down: either relative to today's year ( "-nn:+nn" ), relative to the currently selected year ( "c-nn:c+nn" ), absolute ( "nnnn:nnnn" ), or combinations of these formats ( "nnnn:-nn" ).

Note that this option only affects what appears in the drop-down, to restrict which dates may be selected use the minDate and/or maxDate options.

Change:

"yearRange": "1930"

To:

"yearRange": "1930:1930"

Answer 2

Change your "yearRange": "1930" to "yearRange": "1930:+0"

or if you want it to start at 1930 and go forever set it to "1930:9999"
