吉水镇在广东省湛江市廉江市市区的西北方，东面和北面与河唇镇相接，南面是石城镇、新民镇，西面是石岭镇。全镇面积111平方千米（2018年），户籍人口86084人（同年），辖吉水、兴业两个社区和17个行政村。[1][2]

历史沿革[edit]

镇名取自吉水圩。吉水圩建于明末清初，最早叫急水圩，缘于圩边九洲江的急流；到光绪年间（1875年—1908年），人们觉得“急”字不吉利，换成了“吉”。[2]

建国之前，此地归廉江县第一区；1953年归第二区，1957年归廉城区的吉水乡，1958年并入红旗公社，次年7月另立吉水人民公社。1983年11月公社改称吉水区，1987年3月撤区建镇。[2]

经济[edit]

据百度百科所载2019年数据：生产总值36.82亿元（比上年增3.5%），规模以上工业产值1.23亿元（增45.4%），社会消费品零售总额5.32亿元，固定资产投资4.76亿元，另有公共财政收入0.54亿元。[1]

据该镇上世纪九十年代末的统计，水果种植面积29868亩，其中香蕉6173亩、荔枝19386亩；北运菜种植13210亩；1998年，镇办、村办、联合体和私营企业共800家，吸纳2100人就业，总收入18435万元。其中香蕉市场自称粤西最早、规模最大的香蕉北运批发市场，也是两广交界地带香蕉的集散处；荔枝、龙眼和北运菜也各有专门市场。[3]

2020年、2021年、2022年，吉水镇三次入选淘宝镇名单。[2]

城镇建设[edit]

据该镇上世纪九十年代末的统计，吉水圩圩镇区域面积3.6平方千米，建筑面积76546平方米，常住人口7344人；1998年在广东省城镇建设“岭南杯”竞赛中评为达标镇。[3]

荣誉[edit]

吉水镇在2024年3月获2023年度广东省卫生乡镇的命名，又于2026年3月列入广东省第三批「百千万工程」典型村镇。[2]

名胜古迹[edit]

梧村垌村有一处农民武装起义旧址，前身是刘氏宗祠，廉江县人民政府于1981年11月将它列为文物保护单位。1927年7月，三百多名农民自卫军在这里成立工农革命委员会与工农革命军，发动暴动，数日后撤离、起义失败；各资料对牺牲人数的记载不一，有10人和11人两说。[4][5][6]
