A school that keeps an older name alive.
Dapeng Elementary School was founded in 1942, during the Japanese colonial era, in the area historically known as Wanli-jiatou (萬里加投) — an older place name for the Wanli area that predates its standardization under Japanese rule. The school's address still preserves that historic toponym today. It has been recognized as a disaster-prevention "feature campus," reflecting its attention to safety education in a coastal district exposed to typhoons and other natural hazards.
大鵬國小創立於日治時期民國31年（1942年），校址位於「萬里加投」這個更早於日治時期地名標準化之前的舊稱地區。該校地址至今仍保留此一歷史地名。學校並獲評為防災特色學校，反映其對於位處易受颱風等天然災害影響的沿海地區安全教育的重視。
