One of Sanmin's original three schools.
Hebin Elementary School's history stretches back to the Japanese colonial era, when it operated as 千歲公學校 (its exact founding year is not documented in available records). It was one of only three elementary schools serving the entire Sanmin District as of 1946, a measure of how much the district has grown since. The school was renamed 河濱國小 in 1947 — "河濱" meaning "riverside" — a direct reference to its location on Shizhong 1st Road, near the banks of the Love River (愛河).
河濱國小校史可追溯至日治時期,前身為「千歲公學校」(確切創校年份現有資料未載明)。截至1946年,該校是當時三民區僅有的三所國小之一,可見區域自那時起的成長幅度。學校於1947年更名為「河濱國小」——「河濱」意指「河岸」,直接呼應校址位於市中一路、鄰近愛河畔的地理位置。
