"Home on the Range" is a classic western folk song. It is sometimes called the "unofficial anthem" of the American West. The lyrics were first written by Dr. Brewster M. Higley of Smith County, Kansas. He wrote them in a poem called "My Western Home" in 1872.[1][2] In 1947, it became the state song of the U.S. state of Kansas.[1] In 2010, members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 western songs of all time.[3]
