澎湖地名之旅Part36潭州與潭邊
湖西鄉潭邊村這個地名，自清朝時代一直到光復後都不曾改變；清朝叫「潭邊社」，屬「鼎灣澳」管轄，民國二至四年由於是日據時期，屬「鼎灣區」管轄，光復後實施地方自治，劃歸湖西鄉管轄，叫潭邊村。
先民所以取「潭邊」作地名，有兩個「典故」，一個是取村落附近的地貌，另一個是取村民先祖的居住地，後者可從村民的族譜裡追溯查證。
第一個「典故」是，「潭」這個字，可以解釋為「水邊」，但是令人不解的是，既然已是「水邊」，為什麼又加上一個「邊」字？
另一種解釋是，「潭」也可解釋為「水深之處」，但是，村落沿海並不深，由於澎湖先民多喜取村落周邊的地形、地貌作地名，因此在「研究」地名的由來時，應將各種可能形成地名的因素嘗試推論。
第二個「典故」是，村落裡趙、曾、歐陽三個姓的族群，其中也許有一個族群的先祖，遠在秦朝時代，居住在「潭州」這個地方。
「潭州」就是現在的湖南省長沙市，先祖出生於「潭州」，後裔可能是為了逃避戰亂或飢荒，而遷徒到閩南，又輾轉來到澎湖落戶，為了紀念先祖的出生地─「潭州」的邊緣，因此名叫「潭邊」，意指「潭州」的邊緣。
據文獻記載，秦朝潭州設長沙郡，漢朝改為長沙國，隋朝又恢復潭州，元朝改稱潭州路，明朝長沙府，清朝沿襲明朝原名，國父 孫中山建國後規劃為湖南省長沙市。
潭邊村的特點是，年輕一代村民不少是公教人員，每考必中，民國五十七年辦理社區發展時，潭邊社區豎立的社區牌坊特別高大，村中年輕人參與公務人員考試多能及格，人們認為是托社區牌坊高大之賜，換句話說，是因為高大的社區牌坊變成好風水的庇蔭。
因此，鄰近的鼎灣村就起而效尤，豎立一座比潭邊社區更為高大的鼎灣社區牌坊，兩個社區因而以看誰社區牌坊豎得高的比賽，成為地方一項趣談。
