镇隆镇是广东省茂名市信宜市西南部的一个镇,处在鉴江上游东江河与西江河的汇流处,下辖2个社区和21个行政村(社区)。镇区一带自唐武德四年(621年)起就是信宜县城所在,直到1952年县治迁往东镇,故留下窦州古城这片古城、古书院的遗存。[1][2]

2021年第七次全国人口普查时,全镇人口为4.21万,在信宜各镇街中排第10位。镇隆镇2012年入选「第三批广东省历史文化名镇名村」,2014年被确定为全国重点镇。[1]

历史沿革[edit]

镇隆一带是信宜旧县城所在。信义县设于唐武德四年(621年),县址即在今八坊村一带;贞观八年(634年)起至北宋熙宁四年(1071年),这里还兼作窦州州府,“窦州古城”的称呼由此而来。清顺治十三年(1656年)增修城垣,设东、西、南、北四门;民国二十八年(1939年)为方便抗战期间疏散,城墙被拆除,只留下北门和南门文明门。[2][3]

1952年信宜县城迁到东镇后,这里降为乡镇。据博雅地名网所载,镇隆在1958年建公社,1983年改为区,1984年建镇。[1]

地理环境[edit]

镇隆镇位于信宜市境西南部,距市区中心约18公里;东江河和西江河在镇内汇合,注入鉴江,207国道由南至北穿过全镇。最南的北畔村与高州市的谭头一带相邻。[1]

关于镇名,当地传说镇区附近的祁龙径山山势起伏如龙,“龙”“隆”音近,故名镇隆。[1]

经济[edit]

镇隆是侨乡,特产有鉴江红糯、镇隆鱼古等;2020年8月,镇隆的怀乡鸡被列入「第二批广东省“一村一品、一镇一业”专业镇」名单。德乔村近年引进毛纺织企业10多家,西岸、大水坡两村则以优质稻入选省级“一村一品”专业村。[1]

文化[edit]

2018年5月,镇隆镇凭六双花灯入选「2018至2020年度广东省民间文化艺术之乡」。窦州古城一带还保存着年例、飘色、木偶、采茶歌舞、游神等民俗活动。[1][3]

名胜古迹[edit]

窦州古城位于八坊村,现存面积约1.5平方公里,2020年8月被评为「国家4A级旅游景区」。城中保存有13所古书院、7间公祠和2间公馆,以及文明门、信宜学宫等;文明门、起凤书院和信宜学宫(大洪国王宫旧址)三处已列入省级文物保护,学宫的公布时间是1989年6月。具体介绍见八坊村条目。[2][3][4][5][6][7]

此外,据博雅地名网,镇内的自然景致有温泉吐玉和凤岗春晓;古城内的藜照书院为市级文物保护单位。[9][11]

镇内的文明村在2013年8月被列入「第二批中国传统村落」名录。[10]

著名人物[edit]

华侨企业家李季濂(1877—1936)生于镇隆大路街;其子李孝式后为马来西亚的开国元勋之一,窦州古城内有李季濂故居改建的纪念馆。[3][8][2]
