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 three dialects, namely Hamtikanon (a unique town dialect), Karay-a (the lingua franca of Antique province), and Hiligaynon (the regional dialect).[5]
“Hantik” was named after the humming big black ants that produce the sound “tik” when they bite.
