筒(tong)車壩(ba)(ba)有(you)個小地名(ming)叫茍家壩(ba)(ba),水田和地坪九十(shi)八畝,其地形像舊時(shi)縫紉用(yong)的熨(yun)斗。道光二(er)十(shi)三(san)年后筒(tong)車壩(ba)(ba)更名(ming)為(wei)熨(yun)斗壩(ba)(ba),后來叫做熨(yun)斗鎮。
還有(you)一種說法是,道光二十三年(公元(yuan)1823年)七月(yue),洪水猛(meng)漲,沖毀了筒車,就有(you)陰陽先生說水火(huo)不相(xiang)容,想要防治水患必須用火(huo)物(wu)鎮(zhen)壓。而熨斗(dou)(dou)即為火(huo)物(wu), 紅燙的熨斗(dou)(dou)無疑可避水驅(qu)水,故將鎮(zhen)名(ming)更名(ming)為熨斗(dou)(dou)鎮(zhen)。說來也怪,自熨斗(dou)(dou)名(ming)字叫開后,該地竟再也未發生過(guo)大的水患,老百姓安居樂業,大自然(ran)風(feng)調雨(yu)順,熨斗(dou)(dou)鎮(zhen)就一直叫到如今。
熨斗(dou)古鎮距今有一千四百(bai)年的(de)歷史,是川楚古道上的(de)一座驛站古鎮,屬子午古道的(de)分支。熨斗(dou)古鎮現存古街多(duo)是明清時(shi)期建筑,尤以(yi)建在喀斯特溶洞(dong)之(zhi)上的(de)地貌(mao)以(yi)及“讓出三尺地,多(duo)占(zhan)一份天”的(de)吊腳樓較有特色。古鎮依(yi)山(shan)傍(bang)水(shui)而建,立于鎮外,極(ji)目遠(yuan)望,可見(jian)幢(chuang)幢(chuang)木屋磚舍(she)依(yi)山(shan)分布,重(zhong)重(zhong)疊疊,錯落有致。富水(shui)河緊(jin)(jin)緊(jin)(jin)環抱著古鎮,緩緩流動的(de)河水(shui)清澈(che)見(jian)底。古鎮處(chu)處(chu)透著恬淡之(zhi)美(mei),頗具“小橋(qiao)、流水(shui)、人(ren)家(jia)”的(de)詩情(qing)畫意。古鎮街道,用青(qing)石鋪(pu)筑而成,街道兩旁的(de)店鋪(pu)鱗次櫛比(bi),昔日商賈(jia)云集(ji),商貿繁榮時(shi)有老字(zi)號(hao)十多(duo)家(jia),名播(bo)川陜湖廣。
