高桥镇是广东省湛江市廉江市西南部的一个镇，南临北部湾，西面与广西合浦县山口镇相接，北面同广西玉林市的龙潭镇交界，海岸线约25千米[1]。镇名来自镇上的高桥圩，圩在高桥河北岸，旧时是高州、雷州、廉州之间的交通要道[1]。镇域内有高桥红树林保护区，也是廉江红橙的原产地之一[1][2]。

历史沿革[edit]

建国之初，本地属第六区，1953年归第十一区，到1957年分出了德耀乡。1958年归上游公社，次年转入车板公社[1]。高桥人民公社成立于1966年6月11日；其后建制数变：1983年11月称区，1986年称乡，1988年6月15日起定为镇[1]。

关于镇名，博雅地名网的说法是：高桥圩在高桥河北岸，地势较高，河上架有木桥，所以叫高桥；圩在历史上又是驿站所在[1]。

地理环境[edit]

据当地概况，全镇面积76平方千米，下辖8个村委会和1个居委会，有108条自然村，总人口约3.1万人；气候属南亚热带[2]。国道325线自东向西穿过镇境，渝湛高速公路也在境内与干线相交[2]。

经济[edit]

红橙是镇上最主要的水果。据概况所述，镇内红橙种植约1.5万亩，形成盛丰千亩红橙基地、席草陂与牛皮河红橙专业村，以及沿325国道长约3千米的红橙产业带[2]。所说的「廉江红橙」，据维基百科，最早引种于红江农场，1970年代起推广，1986年由全国优质柑橙评选会定名；2004年9月20日，国家质检总局批准对它实施原产地域产品保护[3][4]。镇上另在德耀、红寨一带建有约5000亩的海水对虾、膏蟹养殖基地[2]。到2004年9月，全镇乡镇企业有392家[2]。

名胜古迹[edit]

高桥红树林保护区是镇上最有名的去处，属广东湛江红树林国家级自然保护区的一部分[6]，百度百科称它是国内面积最大的红树林保护区，全长约27千米，总面积约1202公顷，其中红树林约934公顷，有红树植物15科25种，鸟类170多种，并为国家3A级旅游景区；园内有苏东坡纪念亭、阿婆庙、松明石井、松明书院等[5][6]。而镇的概况材料另记：红树林属廉江八景之一；1999年省政府将它命名为全省环保教育基地；2001年，一项中荷合作的红树林与海岸保护项目在高桥落地[2]。两份材料对红树林的面积和种类数不尽一致（概况称核心区连片4万亩、红树林24种），此处两说并存。

此外，这里留有宋代苏轼往合浦途中的传说遗迹，据百度百科，「松明八井」与「东坡亭」是他在此留下的古迹[5]。

荣誉[edit]

博雅地名网记有两项：高桥镇在2022年9月获认定为「2022年湛江市文明镇」，在2026年3月入选「广东省第三批“百千万工程”典型村镇」[1]。
