上砂镇位于广东省揭阳市揭西县的最西部,地处揭阳、梅州、汕尾三市交界处,镇政府驻社前社区。镇的西南侧毗邻汕尾市陆河县螺溪镇,东南侧与五云镇相接,西北面则紧挨五华县的几个乡镇。[1][7]

镇域多山,地势四周高、中间低,境内有上砂河,是榕江的一条支流。镇名因上砂河而得。[5][7]

历史沿革[edit]

据镇政府的规划文件,南宋末年抗元名将庄罗的遗孀黄微德携幼子庄诏自潮阳迁往当时海丰县吉康都的沙洞一带定居,此后镇内以庄姓为主,文件称上砂是潮汕地区庄氏的第一聚居地。[1]

上砂最初隶属陆丰县:1949年10月设上砂乡,归第八区管辖,之后调入第十三区。1957年起独立为乡,次年又改为公社;博雅地名网所记的公社设立年份为1959年,与规划文件不同。[1][5]

1965年,上砂改归揭西县管辖。1983年先设为区,1986年再设为镇,镇政府所在的上砂圩即今社前社区。[1][5]

2024年3月,上砂镇被命名为「2023年广东省卫生乡镇」。[5]

地理环境[edit]

镇域面积的数字各家不一:镇域规划征求意见稿按三调统计为125.94平方千米,百度百科载为125.89平方千米(2018年),博雅地名网概况则载为129平方千米,未注年份。[1][3][6]

山地广阔,地形呈四周高、中间低。年均气温19.1℃,年降水量1800至2400毫米,属亚热带季风气候。[1][3]

兴汕高速穿过全镇,出入口设在镇区北部,镇内道路以省道为主干。[1]

人口民族[edit]

第七次全国人口普查的标准时点为2020年11月1日零时,上砂镇常住人口为33122人。[2]

规划文件另列一组2020年数据,即户籍5.8万人、常住3.19万人,并称近五年人口呈减少趋势,青壮年多外出务工。[1] 百度百科载2018年户籍人口58172人。[3]

维基百科称镇内以庄姓为主,人口最多的是庄伯富、庄伯兴、庄伯成三系。[4]

经济[edit]

农业以稻谷、玉米、番薯、大豆为主要作物,特色农业以茶叶、三红蜜柚和沙糖橘为主。[1]

2021年底发布的规划征求意见稿称,全镇工业企业有122家,其中石材加工企业4家;工业以副食品加工和石材加工为主。[1]

文化[edit]

镇内有两处「县级重点文物保护单位」:庄氏宗祠,以及上山村的天主教堂。另有法祖家庙、梅林祠、紫竹庙等文化场所。[1]

民俗节庆有庄氏宗亲恳亲大会、四月廿庆典和天主教礼拜活动。饮食方面,客家擂茶、客家米呈、上砂饼干和上砂猪手在当地较有名。[1]

名胜古迹[edit]

峰子岩有紫竹庙,镇域西部有开口石景区;百度百科另载峰子岩风景区与开口石风景区的名称。[1][3]

著名人物[edit]

庄严(1910至1986年),原名清球,上山村人,自幼受天主教影响,早年曾在澄海的天主教初级神学院学习。[5]

维基百科将陈庄氏列为本镇名人,她是庄举珍之女,陈嘉庚的继母。[4]
