A name chosen by the neighborhood.
Denggong Elementary School opened in 1989 as Tamsui's 12th public elementary school. Local gentry chose to name it for the "Denggong" village rather than the originally proposed name, "Fengwen Elementary." The campus stands about 400 meters from Tamsui MRT station and 500 meters from Tamkang University, and just 200 meters from Yinshan Temple (鄞山寺), a second-class historic monument tied to Tamsui's Hakka immigrant heritage. The school's emblem is a tree.
鄧公國小創立於民國78年（1989年），是淡水第12所公立國小。地方仕紳選擇以「鄧公里」為名，而非原擬定的「豐文國小」。校址距淡水捷運站約400公尺，距淡江大學約500公尺，並與二級古蹟鄞山寺相距僅200公尺——鄞山寺是淡水客家移民歷史的重要見證。學校校徽以樹木為意象。
