馬公市光明里，從清朝時代起一直光復後，都叫做「火燒坪」，它的由來是（常讀澎湖文獻的人多少曾讀到）：在清朝時代，部分先民不一定長年居住澎湖，譬如冬天一到，強勁東北季風來了，他們就閤家遷回福建故鄉過冬，等到次年夏天風平浪靜時，再渡海到澎湖捕魚。
先民為什麼要如此辛苦，過著像候鳥一般的生活 ？主要原因是福建多山，可耕農地不多，沿岸居民多以海為田，而在古代，澎湖群島沿海的漁產是相當豐富的。 「火燒坪」這個「坪」字，用閩南話解讀，是指「廣場」、「曬穀場」或「曬魚場」之意。
先民在居處門前廣場搭建一個涼篷形狀的架子用於曬魚乾，大魚小魚一串串懸掛在篷架上，叫做「坪」。
曬魚乾的篷架，曬魚時間久了必然不乾淨，常有一股魚腥臭味存在，令人聞而掩鼻，因此，當冬天來時，先民要重回福建老家過冬時，為了保護環境乾淨，就將居處門前的曬魚篷架─「坪」放火燒掉了，這就叫做「火燒坪」，明年再渡海來澎時，可重建新「坪」。
光復後，澎湖地方政府將它改成「光明里」，改得好，從此一片光明，再也嗅不到魚腥臭味了。
