Hamtic was formerly named Antique, after which the province was named. It is the oldest town and the first capital of the province before it was transferred to San Jose de Buenavista in 1802. The town speaks Hiligaynon (the regional language), and Hamtikanon, a unique town dialect of Karay-a (the lingua franca of Antique province). [5]
"Hantik" was named after the humming big black ants that produce the sound "tik" when they bite.
Hamtic was created from portions of San Jose de Buenavista, through Executive Order No. 3 signed by President Ramon Magsaysay on January 5, 1954.[6]
Hamtic is 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) from the provincial capital, San Jose de Buenavista.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 113.03 square kilometres (43.64 sq mi) [7] constituting 4.14% of the 2,729.17-square-kilometre- (1,053.74 sq mi) total area of Antique.
