Dynamic Year Select Box

I would like to make a select box that has the last 50 years in it.  I want it to change with each year instead of me going in and changing it in the code. Would I do this with an array? I think there is an easy way to do this but I can not figure it out.

Thanks for your help

    <cfset theyear = year(now())>

    <select name = year>

    <cfloop from = "1" to = "50" index = "i">

    <option value = "#theyear# />#theyear#

    <cfset theyear = theyear - 1>
