The brief history of Sigma in the year 1615 or ninety-four years after Magellan landed in Cebu, 1521, a group of Catholic Missionaries led by Fr. Alonso Ejevas, came to the Inland of Panay for the organization and establishment of the towns of Jamindan and Mambusao, formerly named "Tipic". Mambusao however, was so wide that the descendants of Datu Monahan and Pedro Vesera again suggested to the missionaries that a ne w town be estbalished in the east. Hence, a new town called Sigma.

According to historians, the SIGMA was named after the town's first executive datu, a powerful ruler named Datu Cayongyong Mahinay. The Datu, with the frequent recurrence of his normal cold illness and often blowing his nose, in dialect "naga-sikma" was popularly known among his followers and other "Datus" ruliing the neighboring regions as "Datu Sikma". Hence, the town named Sigma from the word "Sikma".
