History
Sibirel was founded on 8 July 2012 as the "New Adarma Autonomous Region". It was made up of Adarma, Sängeran and West provinces. Clemente Ruiz was the first Governor of the region. His mandate lasted two years, when he was replaced with Victoria Amaral.
Since its foundation, mining was the driving force for development of the region, and resulted in industrialization, especially in Adarma.
In 2015, New Adarma was renamed "Sibirel", and adopted new symbols.
