　　在澎湖現有的九十多個村里中，估計有三分之二以上由元、明、清三個朝代規劃的舊地名，迄今已有七百多年歷史，多數仍然在沿用著，但被遺忘的極少數要追溯來源，卻十分困難，像馬公市前寮里，在明、清兩個朝代，官府取名叫做「闉墩仔社」，而先民自行取名叫「前寮」，這情形相當特殊，官府所以取名「煙墩仔社」，是因為前寮里海岸有個高地，向南能看到嵵裡里海岸，向西能看到馬公港。

　　當輪派到「煙墩仔社」高地守望的守軍（衛兵）發現嵵裡里海岸或馬公港口有外國戰船或海盜企圖登陸時，立即燃放烽火（煙火）示警，要軍民防範，準備防衛。

　　而先民所以自行取名「前寮」，是因為「寮」這個字在古代是「茅屋」的代名詞，而且，在「前竂」的前面各島嶼都沒有茅屋，因此自稱是澎湖最前面的茅屋─前寮。

　　如今，由官府取名的「煙墩仔社」早已被人們遺忘，而由先民自取的「前寮」，卻沿襲至現在。

　　在古代，「煙墩仔社」屬「嵵裡澳（鄉）」管轄，顯見古代嵵裡里的環境非常重要，因此以該里為鄉治所在地。 「嵵裡澳（鄉）」管轄的「社」（村）最多，共有十二「社」，即「風櫃尾社」（風櫃）、「嵵裡社」（嵵裡）、「井仔垵社」（井垵）「雞母塢社」（五德）、「豬母落水社」（山水）、「鎖管港社」（鎖管）、「鐵線尾社」（鐵線）、「石井社」（石泉）、「煙墩仔社」（前寮）、「菜園社」、「虎井社」、「桶盤社」。

　　古代馬公市區叫做「東西澳」，也只管十「社」而已。

　　另外，古代的澎湖守軍，也曾將「煙墩仔社」取了個別名叫做「前瞭」，原因可能是指向前瞭望及符合當地先民自取的「前寮」這個地名之意。

　　但是，「前瞭」也像「煙墩仔社」一樣，被人們遺忘了。

　　筆者為了查證「煙墩仔社」這個古地名由來，曾「苦讀」古代府、縣等文獻十一冊，為被遺忘的村落古地名尋根探源，如此「艱辛」。
