平塘镇是广东省茂名市信宜市下辖的镇，位于信宜市东部，东与新宝镇相连，南邻合水镇，西以钱排镇为界，北面与罗定市的罗镜、分界两镇相邻。全镇行政区域面积190.58平方千米，下设1个社区和21个行政村，镇政府设在林垌开发区。[1]

历史沿革[edit]

据博雅地名网所载，明代这一带属信宜县定康都。1889年（清光绪十五年）称信宜县林地堡；1940年（民国二十九年）为信宜县四区林地乡；新中国成立之初仍沿称林坷乡。[2]1952年12月隶信宜县十四区，后划入合水区；1957年春撤区并乡，此地定名沙子乡；1958年秋并入合水公社，1959年又从中分出，另设平塘公社。1961年区下分设小公社，合水区辖平塘、沙子、北永三社，1963年撤区并社，三社合为一个平塘公社。[2]公社于1983年12月改称平塘区，1986年11月区改为镇，即今平塘镇。[1][2]

地名由来[edit]

据博雅地名网，古时此处有一处宽阔的河湾，木船在这里靠岸装卸货物，湾面平阔如同大塘，所以称平塘。[2]

人口民族[edit]

百度百科记载，截至2019年末，全镇户籍人口65553人。[1]博雅地名网引述第七次全国人口普查结果，称全镇人口为3.26万人，在信宜市各街道乡镇中居第13位；该页另记镇内有103条自然村、592个经济合作社，所列人口为56438人，但未注明年份。[2]

经济[edit]

据百度百科，2019年全镇有工业企业22个，其中规模以上企业1个，营业面积超过50平方米的大小商超30家。[1]罗排、榃棉、湾龙三村于2021年入选第二批广东省「一村一品、一镇一业」专业村，产品均为三华李；倒流村2022年入选，产品为乌榄。[4][6][7][8]

名胜古迹[edit]

马安村的马安竹海是镇内的高山旅游景区，据百度百科，最高海拔超过1100米，2025年2月获批国家3A级旅游景区，详见马安村。[3]

荣誉[edit]

2023年4月公布的「2022年广东省乡村治理示范镇」创建名单中，有平塘镇。[2]镇内马安村于2025年3月被命名为「第七届全国文明村镇」。[5]
