澎湖地名之旅Part33 溪西．西溪
湖西鄉西溪村，村落位在太武山水系的西邊，為什麼叫做「西溪」？如果按照地形地貌取地名，應該叫做「溪西」才合理。
但是，根據長久以來的說法是，太武山位在西溪村的南方，每當下大雨的時候，自太武山上向北麓流瀉的一股山洪，流到西溪村南側時即分為兩條支流，一條流入成功水庫，另一條流向西溪村東側，這股山洪稱為太武山水系。
在西溪先民尚未落戶之前，村落東側就有一條太武山水系支流了，到了明朝中、晚期，太武山麓周邊有先民居住時，就叫這條支流「西溪」，因為支流位置是在太武山的西麓因而得名。
到了清朝初期，在此落戶的先民大量增加時，也就自然而然地叫做「西溪」了，雍正六年（公元一七二七年），清朝將澎湖群島規劃成為十三「澳」（類似現在的十三鄉），八十二「社」（類似現在的八十二村）時，將「西澳社」列歸「林投澳」管轄。
相傳，由於林投距離西溪約八公里遠，當「林投澳衙門」（類似現在的鄉公所）的官吏要傳西溪村先民到「衙門」問話時，先民要到「林投澳衙門」報到，都是繞經太武山、「太武社」，然後轉向「隘門社」才到，這是一條捷徑，但是，因為古代都是羊腸小徑，沿途高低不平，先民自喻為「翻山越嶺」。西溪村先民和湖西鄉其他村落的先民一樣，在明朝中期就在此落戶了，是較早閩南移民澎湖的部分族群，因為澎湖群島以湖西鄉的土壤最好，早期的移民都選擇湖西鄉定居以開發農業謀生。 西溪村的特點之一是，由於村落位在太武山水系的尾端，而且溪流自山上流經山麓後流域沒有障礙，相傳是好山好水，因此自古至今，西溪村居民竹文化水準頗高，近代以來名人輩出，如富甲一方的高雄半屏山東南水泥董事長陳江章兄弟，現任立委陳癸淼及現代屏東縣政府人事室主任高武雄等，都是西溪村人。
