A school once renamed for Chiang Kai-shek.
Daxi Junior High was founded on October 17, 1946, as Daxi Junior Middle School. Around 1975 it was renamed “Wuling Junior High School” (武嶺國民中學) because of its proximity to 大溪行館, Chiang Kai-shek's residence — 武嶺 being a mountain-climbing pen name Chiang used — before reverting to Daxi Junior High School in August 1992. The school originally sat on a roughly one-hectare campus beside Daxi's Zhongzheng Park before moving to its current five-plus-hectare site in August 1985.
大溪國中創立於1946年（民國35年）10月17日，初名大溪初級中學。1975年前後因鄰近蔣中正官邸「大溪行館」，改名為「武嶺國民中學」（武嶺為蔣中正登山時使用的別號），1992年（民國81年）8月改回大溪國民中學原名。學校原址位於大溪中正公園旁，約一公頃校地，1985年8月遷至現今逾五公頃的校地。

A school once renamed for Chiang Kai-shek.
Daxi Junior High's former name, “武嶺” (Wuling, Chiang Kai-shek's mountain-climbing pen name), is a direct historical fingerprint of the school's location near the Cihu and Daxi presidential retreat and mausoleum complex — a reminder of the district's mid-20th-century political history.
