良田乡是广东省揭阳市揭西县西北部的一个乡,地处山区,平均海拔约500米,距县城26公里[1]。乡境东面与五经富镇相连,南面靠近河婆街道,西面连着五华县的棉洋镇,北面紧挨丰顺县的八乡山镇[2]。

历史沿革[edit]

1949年,这一带属揭阳县横江区,1957年改称横江乡。1958年归河婆人民公社管辖,1959年7月独立,建良田人民公社[1][2]。1965年改属揭西县。1976年11月,岸洋等6个生产大队被划出良田,另建西田人民公社[1]。1983年,良田与西田设区;1986年12月,两地设乡。2003年6月30日,西田乡并入良田乡,合称良田乡[1][2]。

良田乡在2024年3月获得「2023年广东省卫生乡镇」的命名[1]。

地名由来[edit]

据说古时村民住处分散,为了便于收缴地税,人们在今新建楼附近划出一片田地,专门用来交税,因此称作“粮田”。“粮”与“良”读音相同,后人便改“粮”为“良”,此名沿用至今[1]。

地理环境[edit]

乡境高山环绕,东侧与大北山林场交界[1]。2018年的面积为130.17平方千米[2];博雅地名网另载面积为53.05平方千米,未注年份[1]。

人口[edit]

第七次全国人口普查结果显示,2020年11月1日零时,良田乡常住人口为12237人,占全县常住人口的1.81%[3]。

经济[edit]

2023年的乡政府工作报告提到,全乡以茶叶、苦笋、南药等特色农业为主攻方向,并推动水稻的一二三产业融合[4]。

语言[edit]

维基百科“揭西县”条目列出客家语分布的乡镇,良田乡在其中[6]。

名胜古迹[edit]

南方人民银行纪念馆位于下村。1949年4月,中共中央同意华南分局组建南方人民银行,由华南分局的蔡馥生、赵元浩二人负责筹备[8][4]。

良田革命烈士纪念碑列为一般不可移动文物。该碑纪念的是1934年在湖头菜园坷遭围困而殉职的红军9人,以及解放战争时期和此后建设年代里牺牲在本乡的6名烈士[5]。

著名人物[edit]

刘向东(1906~1984年)是本县良田乡水井头村人。1951年7月,他转任省级农林行政工作,担任广东省农林厅第一副厅长;1984年12月18日,他在北京病逝[7]。
