　　馬公市重光里，古代叫做「後窟潭」，現在有不少人仍叫「後窟潭」。

　　先民所以取「後窟潭」作地名，因為里內有三個天然小池塘。「窟」，閩南話意譯是指「穴」、「渠」、「小池」、「池」等；「潭」，是指池塘。將「窟」與「潭」合在一起解釋，就是指池塘。

　　「後」，是指這個村落位在「媽宮城」（即今馬公市區）的後面，因而稱為「後窟潭」。

　　三個小池塘，已埋掉一個，現在遺留兩個，稱為「日潭」與「月潭」，合稱「日月潭」，在南投縣有個大日月潭，在澎湖則有個小日月潭。

　　「後窟潭」這個地名，據日本俗學家安倍明義研究，可能遠在明朝時代就有了，也就是說，在明朝時代己有先民在此居住，以捕魚為業：因為「後窟潭」位在澎湖本島中央，周邊沿海盛產魚類，而且先民捕到魚後，挑魚徒步到「媽宮社市仔」（馬公市區菜市場）出售方便，先民謀生容易。此外，由於「後窟潭」在明朝時代僅居住一個廿多人血緣族群，是個小漁村，引不起海盜注意，因此先民能安居樂業。

　　清朝雍正六年（公元一七二八年），朝廷在澎湖設置規模較大的地方政府─「海防糧捕廳」時，「後窟潭」已經是一個一百多人的村落。

　　「後窟潭」這個地名，經過明朝、清朝、日據時期長達四百多年來未改變，到了光復後才改為「重光里」。

　　「後窟潭」位在馬公市區北側，與西衛里比鄰，徒步到馬公市區，只需十多分鐘路程，是馬公市郊一個僻靜，適合居家的地方。

　　相傳在清朝時代，「後窟潭」沿海小型漁業最發達，位在今澎湖一級古蹟天后宮前面的清朝菜市場鮮魚，有五分之一是由「後窟潭」先民供應。清朝時代澎湖沿海小型漁業是定置網、截網（即流刺網）及釣魚。

　　此外，「後窟潭」沿岸也盛產螃蟹，澎湖盛傳一句俗話「後窟潭蟹仔刺牙牙」，是形容重光里沿岸螃蟹最多。
