From PHSea
清朝時代的「媽宮社」這個地名，是指在今民生路以南地區，「社」這個字是形容一個聚落或村落，類似現在的一個村里。
在明、清時代，「媽宮社」是澎湖群島上最大的一個聚落，「社」內又分為三個部落，即「東甲」（今啟明里及重慶里一部分）、「南甲」（今中央里及復興里）、「北甲」（今長安里）。
光緒十五年（公元一八八九年）十月，「媽宮城」營造完工，由於「東甲」、「南甲」及「北甲」這三個部落位在城內，「媽宮社」的地名，更獲得定位。 從此，就有了城內的分別。
在城外（今民生路以北及以東），稱為城外或埔仔。「埔仔」閩南話是形容空地或荒地的意思。在城外，有「埔仔」、「埔仔尾」、「紅毛城」、「澳仔底」、「火燒棚」等地名，解說如下：
─「埔仔」：範圍約包括現在的中興里及光復里一帶，在古代由於居民稀少而得名。
─「埔仔尾」：在今澎湖舊監獄及文化中心一帶，由於位在「埔仔」的末端，而「埔仔尾」閩南話是形容空地或荒地的尾端因而得名。
─「紅毛城」：位在今朝陽里武聖廟一帶，因為明朝天啟二年（公元一六二二年），荷蘭海軍將領雷爾生在此處營造一座周圍二百丈的小城而得名。由於荷蘭人頭髮棕紅色，國人就叫他們紅毛番。
─「澳仔底」：即今光明里稅捐處宿舍一帶，因為明朝時代稱「媽宮澳」，由於此處地勢較低，先民就取名叫「澳仔底」。明朝時代的「澳」，是指一個行政區域，可能是類似現代的鄉鎮，「澳」設「澳衙門」（基層政府），但「媽宮澳」的衙門設在何處，尚待查證。
─「火燒棚」：已經解說過了。
因此，目前的馬公市區，在清朝時代分成許多個部落，如「東甲」、「南甲」、「北甲」、「城外」、「埔仔」、「埔仔尾」、「火燒棚」、「澳仔底」、「紅毛城」等。
「東甲」、「南甲」及「北甲」，是具有商業型態的部落外，其他如「埔仔尾」、「紅毛城」及「火燒棚」等部落，居民都是以捕魚或農耕為業。
