马踏镇是广东省茂名市电白区东南部的建制镇，东隔河与阳西县儒洞镇相望，南邻电城镇，西接观珠镇，北靠望夫镇，东南与岭门镇交界[1]。全镇辖1个社区、19个行政村[1]。隋唐时这里曾是连江县（保宁县）的治所，唐开元五年（717年）高州也迁治于此[2]。

历史沿革[edit]

据博雅地名网，隋、唐两代连江县（又称保宁县）的县治设在镇域内；717年（唐开元五年）高州治所也迁来，州、县同城，遗址在禄岳下村[2]。元、明两代属上保宁乡一图；清代设赤岭、禄岳、蛟潭、松塘、石笏、邓朝六堡[2]。

民国三十年（1941年），马桐乡改称马踏乡[2]。1949至1950年设一区，区治在马踏圩；1951年大区撤销，改设马踏小区，下辖马踏、禄岳等乡[2]。此后1957年撤区建乡，1958年划归红旗公社，1959年设马踏公社，1960年分为马踏、龙湾两个公社，1963年重新合并为马踏公社[2]。1983年撤公社设马踏区，1987年撤区设马踏镇[1][2]。

地名来历，当地传说是有仙人策马经过，在今马踏古石村的一块巨石上留下马蹄印，镇因此得名；旧称赤冷[3]。

地理环境[edit]

镇域位于电白区东南部，行政区域面积161.91平方千米，属亚热带季风气候[1]。博雅地名网记为约144平方千米[6]。电白区的第二大河龙湾河流经全境，中小型水库、陂坝分布很多；河角水库的库区跨马踏、观珠、望夫三镇，1958年冬动工，1964年建成，总库容2882万立方米[3][4]。

人口民族[edit]

2019年末户籍人口94011人[1]。据第七次全国人口普查，2021年6月常住人口约6.5万人，在电白区各街道镇中居第8位[6]。

经济[edit]

据博雅地名网，马踏是电白东北部粮食、山料和药材的集散地。农业以稻谷、荔枝、龙眼、花生、甘薯和北运菜为主，有「电白粮仓」之称；镇内花岗岩储量据称达10亿立方米；制锁业是乡镇企业中的特色，镇方称其为粤西地区最大的制锁基地[3]。马踏镇在2022年10月被广东省农业农村厅认定为「2022年广东省“一村一品、一镇一业”专业镇」，产业为水稻[6]。2019年，镇内有工业企业16个，其中规模以上2个[1]。

广湛高速公路穿过镇境，广湛高速铁路在镇内设马踏站[1][3][5]。

名胜古迹[edit]

博雅地名网记下的镇内名胜有三太庙、河角水库、秃罗岭神洞、咸水情鱼与赤岭风云，并提到电白旧八景之一「马踏生风」[3]。题字岭又名六石岭、虎岭，在圩西约1千米，高100多米，岭上有六块巨石，其中三块形如棋盘，民间传说两位仙人常在此对弈[6]。
