Antique is home to the Iraynun-Bukidnon people, who have crafted the only rice terraces in the Visayas. The rice terraces are divided into four terraced fields: General Fullon, Lublub, Bakiang, and San Agustin.

The name "Antique" is derived from the local name for the large black ants found on the island. The Spanish chroniclers recorded the region's name as Hantique, but this was later changed to Antique.
