横山镇是广东省湛江市廉江市西南部的一个镇，因镇政府所在的横山圩得名，1987年由区公所改设为镇。东面是新民镇，南面与遂溪县交界，西面是安铺镇和营仔镇，北面是雅塘镇和石岭镇。[1]镇内以种植尖椒等外运菜闻名，其中三角塘的果菜北运市场，是粤西、广西、海南等地的辣椒集散处。[1][2]

历史沿革[edit]

横山圩建于明代初年，北面有一片山林横亘，圩与镇都因此取名“横山”。[2]这里的建制先后是：1957年的横山乡，1959年2月的人民公社，1983年11月的区公所；到1987年2月，才撤区建镇。[2]

地理环境[edit]

镇域位于低丘和台地之间，属亚热带季风气候。九洲江自东北流向西南，雷州青年运河自东向西穿过镇境。博雅地名网载镇域面积160平方千米，耕地8.9万亩，林地3.3万亩，共有20个村（居）委会，辖254条自然村。[1]

国道325线和廉安公路经过镇境，渝湛高速公路也穿镇而过，出入口离圩镇约3公里；圩镇距廉江城区33公里，距湛江港37公里。[1]东北部有瓷土和高岭土，西北部有水晶矿和花岗岩，东北部另有铁矿，九洲江出产河砂。[1]

人口民族[edit]

据第七次全国人口普查，横山镇常住人口为9.26万，在廉江市各街道乡镇中居第4位。[2]博雅地名网另载2006年全镇总人口为11.5万。[1]

经济[edit]

横山是廉江市的农业大镇，以粮油、外运菜、水果、甘蔗和山地林带养鸡为五大产业；每年的种植面积，粮食约12万亩，外运菜4.5万亩，花生3万亩，水果1.5万亩（博雅地名网所载介绍，未注明年份）；林带养鸡的存栏量在60万只以上。[1]冬闲田种植尖椒、青刀豆等外运菜是当地的传统，2005年有企业为尖椒注册了商标，2006年横山镇被认定为广东省和湛江市的外运菜生产专业镇。[1]

三角塘果菜北运市场占地180亩，设固定档位200多个，据介绍旺季日成交量近1000吨。[1]镇内的金山工业园在三条交通线的交汇处，规划1.5万亩，廉江市共有三个这样的大型工业园，它是其中之一。[1]

名胜古迹[edit]

横山圩古戏台在横山镇中心小学的校园里，坐北朝南，占地150平方米，建筑面积90平方米，台高8米。清乾隆年间始建，此后道光年间直到民国都有修缮，并立碑一通记事。台前能站下两三千名观众，旧时逢神诞、祭祀或节庆，雷歌、木偶、粤剧的班子都来演出。1987年被廉江县人民政府公布为文物保护单位。[3][4]

达离公祠在排岭村后塘仔村，为民国初年所建的祠堂。1947年3月，中共南路特派员吴有恒带队进入廉江，在这里组建了新编第三团并设团部。廉江市政府于1994年将其列为文物保护单位，2022年又列为湛江市的党史教育基地。[5]

荣誉[edit]

横山镇在2026年3月获认定为「广东省第三批“百千万工程”典型村镇」。[2]
