Joomla article field date minimum limit

I am Building a Family site with Joomla 3.7.3 and are trying to add custom fields to the articles. I am e.g. adding the birthday of a Family member in a field. But, it seems like I cannot create a date before 1900-01-01. Do you know of a workaround for this and maybe why one would add this limit to a date field?

Note: I see that there is an option called: "minyear" in the documentation. It might solve the problem, but how do you use it?

Even though the datepicker popup only goes back to 1900, you can manually type in whatever date you want.

You can change the date format disabled by going to Language Overrides and changing the constant of DATE_FORMAT_LC4 to F d, Y or whatever format you want.

If you want to tinker with the datepicker functionality, I believe those files are in /media/system/js/
