A school named through local historical research.
Caiwen Elementary School split off from Luzhu Elementary School in March 2001, initially operating as the "Zhuxi Elementary School Preparatory Office" (竹西國小籌備處) before being formally renamed Caiwen Elementary School that December. The name honors Cai Wen, a general under Ming-loyalist leader Koxinga (Zheng Chenggong) who led military-agricultural colonization of the area in the 17th century — a connection uncovered through local historical research conducted while the school was being established.
蔡文國小於2001年（民國90年）3月自路竹國小分出，最初以「竹西國小籌備處」名義籌設，同年12月正式定名為蔡文國小。校名源自地方文史考證所發現的史實——本地原名「蔡文庄」，紀念明鄭時期率軍屯墾拓荒的將領蔡文，其人曾追隨鄭成功。
