澎湖地名之旅Part44 許姓始祖村.菓葉
湖西鄉菓葉村，是個古老的村落，明朝萬曆九年（1581）第二期大陸移民潮時，已有許姓先民在菓葉墾殖。
菓葉這個地名，自明朝、清朝、日據時期到光復後都沒有改變。清朝叫菓葉社，日據時期一度叫菓葉鄉，光復後實施地方自治叫菓葉村。
菓葉是一種植物，學名是「黃槿」，閩南話叫菓葉，由於村落北側坡地生長一大片菓葉林而得名。據文獻記載，在明朝時代，那一大片菓葉林，向西延伸到現在的菓葉國小，向南延伸到湖西公路南邊農地，十分茂盛，四季長青。
這是澎湖九十多個村里中，第一個取植物菓葉作地名的村落。一直到清朝乾隆年間，由於村落居民不斷增加，才砍掉部份菓葉林地建房子，目前只遺留約一百公尺左右長的菓葉林。
坡地的菓葉林，已由當地人士開發為風景區，叫做菓葉觀日樓，因為春、夏季清晨站坡地向東眺望，當太陽自太平洋冉冉上升時，相當壯觀，而且還能看到台灣本島玉山等高山的山影。
七美、望安、西嶼、馬公、瓦硐、後寮、北寮、南寮、白坑、許家等地的許姓族群，都是由菓葉村分支出去的，因此菓葉村的許姓先民，是大半個澎湖許姓居民的始祖。
長久以來，每年「冬至」，大半個澎湖許姓族群，都會到菓葉村會集一起祭祖，由於先祖來自金門，近年來金門與菓葉許姓族群連繫密切。
