Built on a historic settlement's former marine-school site.
Daren Junior High was established on May 2, 1970, on the former site of the Taiwan Provincial Kaohsiung School of Marine Technology in the Wukuaicuo area. Its roughly 1.9-hectare campus was still under construction when the first cohort of students arrived, so they initially borrowed classrooms from Wufu Junior High. The school's site sits within Wukuaicuo ("five-plot village"), a historic settlement in Lingya District.
大仁國中創立於民國59年（1970年）5月2日，校址為原「台灣省立高雄海事學校」的五塊厝舊址。首屆學生入學時，約1.9公頃的校地仍在興建中，因此暫借五福國中教室上課。學校座落於苓雅區歷史聚落「五塊厝」內。
