澎湖地名之旅Part63 戰略村 內垵外垵
先民取「內塹」、「外塹」這兩個地名時，頗費心思，也顯見有學問。
「內塹」、「外塹」，就是現在西嶼鄉的內垵村和外垵村。
「塹」這個字可作兩種解釋，一是指護城河或壕溝，二是指挖掘成為深坑。「史記—高祖紀」記載：「郎中鄭忠乃脫止漢王，使高壘深塹，勿與戰」；「匈奴傳」記載：「因邊山險塹谿谷可繕者治之，起臨洮至遠東萬餘里」；「史記—秦始皇紀」記載：「三十五年，除道，道九原抵雲陽，塹山煙古直通之」。
由這些解釋可知，「塹」是天然的壕溝，也是人工開闢的險要深坑，在軍事上具有戰略地位，內垵村及外垵村的地形由於丘陵起伏，峰迴路轉，因此村落靠近島嶼東側的內海沿岸叫做「內塹」（內垵村），村落靠近島嶼西側的外海沿岸就叫「外塹」（外垵村）。
清朝時代稱為「內塹社」、「外塹社」，日據時期才改為「內垵」、「外垵」，「垵」這個字閩南話是指「港口」。民國四十年實施地方自治，才叫西嶼鄉內垵村、外垵村。
內垵、外垵都是西嶼鄉的大村落，人口都有二、三千人。內垵村和外垵村的呂姓族群，遷澎始祖是呂成都，在馬公市東衛里落戶，後來才有部分族親遷居內垵及外垵，清朝順治年間來自金門。
內、外垵村的特點是，內垵有一座「西嶼東台」，外垵有一座「西嶼西台」（古砲台，清朝光緒十三年李鴻章所建）。
