You can't - the minimum date for a DTP is 1st Jan 1753 (to match with SQL server which also had this restriction until SQL Server 2008 which introduced teh DaetTime2 type which supports 1/1/1) THis was becasue of the trasnition from the Julian calender to teh Gregorian calander which happened in the that year.

While you can change the DateTimePicker.MinDate value, you cannot set it before 1/1/1753, so you cannot enter any value prior to this.
