A school named for one of Pingtung's oldest districts.
Guilai Elementary sits in the Guilai (歸來) area of southeastern Pingtung City, administratively listed under the Pingtung County Education Department. The name preserves one of the city's oldest sub-district place names: under Qing rule, the area was known as "Qiziliun" (崎仔崙), part of Fengshan County's Gangxi-Zhongli district; under Japanese rule it became its own "街庄"/"大字" administrative unit before being folded into Pingtung Street — later Pingtung City — in 1920.
歸來國小位於屏東市東南側的歸來地區，行政上隸屬屏東縣教育處。校名保留了市內最古老的次分區地名之一：清代時此地稱為「崎仔崙」，隸屬鳳山縣港西中里；日治時期曾自成一個「街庄」／「大字」行政單位，直到1920年（大正9年）才併入屏東街（後為屏東市）。

A place name older than the modern city.
Guilai was historically known as "Qiziliun" (崎仔崙) under Qing rule, part of Fengshan County's Gangxi-Zhongli district; under Japanese rule it became its own administrative "街庄"/"大字" before being folded into Pingtung Street (later Pingtung City) in 1920 — the school's name and location preserve one of the city's oldest sub-district place names. See the Pingtung county page for more on the region.
