河头镇在广东省梅州市平远县中部，下辖9个行政村，驻河头村。镇域东与东石镇、坝头镇相邻，西接八尺镇、中行镇，北连仁居镇，南通大柘镇；柚树河自东南流向西北穿过全镇。[1][2]

历史沿革[edit]

镇名取自柚树河的源头一带。博雅地名网记述，明末这里已有集市，当时叫寨颈铺圩。[1]清代旧属义田都，康熙二十二年（1683年）废除都、堡之制，另设河头乡，管河头、中行两地；民国初年为第四区，新中国成立初改属第二区。[1]

1958年河头归八尺公社管辖，到1961年才独立设公社。其后的体制变动依次是：1983年11月撤社改区，1986年11月区改为乡，1994年12月乡升格为镇。[1]

地理环境[edit]

全镇地块呈长条状，面积约82.42平方千米。[1]河网密布，当地人称之为“十里水乡”；黄田水库是平远县最大的水库，兼作县城饮用水水源，镇域还属于龙文—黄田省级自然保护区的核心区。[2]柚树河河段以黄田水库为起点、河清村为终点，沿岸有圩镇的鱼鳞坝和向阳村的风雨桥，双溪村一带是河头河与中行河的汇合处。[2][3]

人口与经济[edit]

据2003年末统计，全镇设10个村委会、80个村民小组，共2576户、10618人，圩镇居民占634人；当年国内生产总值3552万元，农村人均收入3210元。[1]近年镇里的特色产业有三华李，列入“一村一品”项目；另有铁皮石斛、林下灵芝、向阳咸菜等农产品。[2]

名胜古迹[edit]

珠坑古驿道在河头与东石两镇的分界山上，西起珠坑村，东到东石镇双石村，全长4.24公里。据平远文旅所述，它在土地革命时期是联系闽粤赣边区苏区的秘密运输线之一，又称红色古驿道。[2]向阳村下田心有陈学生故居，是清代所建的客家围龙屋。[2]

著名人物[edit]

陈学生（1894—1930），出生于太阳寨（今向阳村），土地革命战争时期领导平远的农民运动，1930年死于“八尺事件”，年36岁。[2]

荣誉[edit]

2020年2月获授2019年度“广东省卫生镇”；2025年3月，列入第七届全国文明村镇。[1]
