A name built from two villages.
Gucheng Elementary was formed in 1963 from the 1962 merger of two schools: Gugang School, a private village academy in Gugang, and Old Kinmen City Elementary. Its name combines "Gu" (古) from Gugang village and "Cheng" (城) from Jinmen Cheng, or "Old Kinmen City" — reflecting both of its founding communities. The school today partners with three local communities: Gugang, Jinmen City, and Qianshuitou, and sits in one of Kinmen's oldest historic settlement areas.
古城國小成立於民國52年（1963年），由民國51年（1962年）合併的兩所學校組成：古崗學校（古崗地區的私立村校）與金門城國小。校名取「古崗」之「古」字與「金門城」之「城」字組成，彰顯兩所創校社區的淵源。學校現與古崗、金門城、前水頭三個在地社區合作，座落於金門歷史最悠久的聚落地帶之一。

Old Kinmen City, the island's original walled county seat.
The school sits in and is named after 金門城 (Old Kinmen City), the original walled Ming-dynasty county seat of Kinmen — a direct tie to the island's historic Minnan-era fortification and settlement heritage. See the Kinmen county page for more on the region.
