Chaoliao Elementary began in September 1948 as a branch campus of Zhaoming Elementary, becoming a formally established independent school on March 13, 1953, with five classes. The land-purchase agreement for its current campus was finalized in 1972 with the Taiwan Sugar Corporation, reflecting the historic role of the sugar industry in shaping land use across this part of Kaohsiung.
