桃源镇是广东省梅州市大埔县最南端的镇，南与潮州市饶平县相接，西邻丰顺县，东连光德镇，北靠高陂镇，下辖桃星、新东、桃锋、团结、上墩、坪新6个行政村。[1][3]全镇面积约77平方公里，第七次全国人口普查时有常住人口约1.06万人，在县内各乡镇中居第10位。[1]镇人民政府驻地距县城约30公里。[1]

历史沿革[edit]

清代以前，本地称泥源，后来又叫黎源；明、清两代属古源甲。[1]民国时期归高陂区管辖，民国十七年（1928年）办治安会，桃源与象墩（今上墩）合并成桃源乡，仍在古源甲乡的范围内。[1]1949年后仍属高陂区，1957年另立桃源乡，1958年划归高陂公社，1961年重新设桃源公社，此后改为区，至1986年冬才改设为镇。[1]

地名由来[edit]

博雅地名网记有三种说法：其一，此地是一处小盆地，山水秀丽，如同陶渊明笔下的桃花源；其二，旧名泥源，客家话称土质为泥，境内瓷土储量大、品质好，而桃与陶瓷的陶同音，便称桃源；其三，取名于境内的桃源溪。[1]

地理环境[edit]

桃源镇位于大埔县境最南部，有公路通往高陂、县城和饶平县。[1]6个行政村中，团结村最小，全村面积3.1平方公里；新东村最大，为23.1平方公里。[2]

经济[edit]

当地农业以水稻、茶叶和蜜柚为主，乡镇企业以陶瓷为主。[1]桃星村在2020年8月入选广东省首批「一村一品、一镇一业」专业村，产品为茶叶。[2]

名胜古迹[edit]

镇内的文物点有新东村的叶庐（古大存革命活动旧址）、敦裕堂（新东郭氏祖祠）和敦本堂，以及桃星村老虎坑的和尚岭遗址。[1]和尚岭遗址为商代遗存，发现于1982年，出土有釜、罐、壶等陶器和锛、刀等石器，遗物散布约4000平方米。[1]桃星村、桃锋村在2019年6月同被列入第五批中国传统村落名录。[2][3]

荣誉[edit]

桃源镇是「2020年度广东省卫生城镇」，授予时间为2021年1月。[1]
