澎湖地名之旅Part69 花宅 中社
「宅」這個字，閩南話意譯是「圍著防風牆的菜圃」，由於澎湖東北季風強勁，風期一年之中長達六個月之久，因此菜圃必須圍築防風牆加以保護。
「花宅」這個古老的村落並沒有百花盛開，先民之所以取它作地名，相傳原因是清朝初期，有一戶人家的菜圃種了許多的高麗菜、大蔥、白菜等，這些蔬菜產期過後就會開花結籽，人看到「宅」裡頭開滿了菜花因而得名。
這戶人家所以特地保留越季的蔬菜讓它開花結籽，是因為古時交通不便，要到大陸或台灣本島購買蔬菜種籽十分困難，所以必須自行保存種籽，次年秋季才有種籽可種。
清朝時代叫做「花宅社」，日據時期稱為「花宅鄉」，光復後才改名「中社村」，因為花宅這個村落位置正好在望安島的中央，故名「中」社村。
中社村的特點是，共有三合院古厝八十多間，長久以來人口外流嚴重，遺留的空屋無人居住，是澎湖保存傳統古厝風貌最多的村落，成為典型的澎湖傳統聚落。
外流的人口大多居住高雄市，受僱當遠洋漁船船長，所以中社村也是個著名的船長村，高雄市三民區一帶不少樓房都是中社村移民船長的家。
澎湖著名的山—天台山，就是在中社村西北角落，天台山下生產的文石品質最好，中社村附近有平原、有高山，每當夏秋季山上山下雜草茂盛時，成為一片大草原，是澎湖一處理想的露營地。
