History
The municipality was created through Republic Act No. 654, issued on June 16, 1951, during the leadership of President Elpidio Quirino, upon separation of twenty barrios from Margosatubig in the old province of Zamboanga.
After the partition of Zamboanga, Malangas became part of Zamboanga del Sur, and its territory was later reduced. In 1956, six barrios and sitios, along with parts of Kabasalan, were separated to establish Siay.
In 1977, Imelda was created, constituting seven barangays, including Sta. Fe which would be the seat of government in the newly-created municipality, detached from Malangas, along with parts of Siay and Alicia.
