"Home on the Range" is a classic western folk song sometimes called the "unofficial anthem" of the American West. Dr. Brewster Higley of Smith County, Kansas, wrote the lyrics in the poem "My Western Home" in 1874. Daniel Kelley (1808–1905), a friend of Higley, wrote the melody for the song on his guitar.
In 1947, it became the Kansas state song. In 2010, members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 western songs of all time.
