外高村在永宁镇区南面约1.3千米处,西与梅林村接壤,东与浯沙村相邻。[2]

村子又名高厝、亦称霁江,清代旧志称此地为“寨下”,村边遗有清初所建的炮台式寨仔。[1][2]

地名由来[edit]

明代此地原为张氏聚居,后来高氏迁入并人丁兴旺,张氏渐渐稀少,高氏聚居之地于是被称为“高厝”。村中部分人迁入永宁城内居住后,城外的高厝便被称作“外高”。[3]

历史沿革[edit]

清道光版《晋江县志》称这里为“寨下”。清初为防备郑成功的进攻,清政府在此设东、西两座寨子,俗称“寨仔”,实为炮台;东寨在民国初年毁没,东南隅的另一座至20世纪60年代仍留有轮廓。寨墙全长19.7米,高3.16米,宽2.5米,墙上设枪眼,可置数门火炮。[2]

1956年设外高高级社,此后经大队建制调整,1984年改称外高村民委员会。[1]
