try like this, if you want to display only the years,
if the range is less , you shall hardcode the values as
<select id="ddlYear">
<option value="0">Select</option>
<option value="1900">1900</option>
<option value="1901">1900</option>
<option value="1902">1900</option>
.
.
.
<option value="2015">1900</option>
<option value="2016">1900</option>
</select>
Configurable by using jquery.
<select id="ddlYear" ></select>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
var startYear = 1900;
var endYear = 2020;
var defaultValue = 'select'
$('#ddlYear').append('<option value="' + defaultValue + '">' + defaultValue + '</option>');
for (var i = startYear; i <= endYear; i++)
$('#ddlYear').append('<option value="' + i + '">' + i + '</option>');
});
</script>
