Built to serve nine villages.
Ximen Elementary was founded on August 1, 1952, to serve nine local villages that made up its school district. In its first year, the school had no campus of its own and borrowed classrooms from Minfu Elementary School for 14 classes, until its own campus was completed in March 1953. Its first graduating class of 184 students walked the stage in 1955. The school was renamed "西門國小" in 1963, and took its current municipal name in 1982.
西門國小創立於民國41年（1952年）8月1日，服務範圍涵蓋九個地方村里。創校首年尚無自有校舍，借用民富國小的14間教室上課，直到民國42年（1953年）3月自有校舍完工。民國44年（1955年），首屆184名畢業生完成學業。民國52年（1963年）更名為「西門國小」，民國71年（1982年）定名為現今的市立校名。
