The only school of its name in Taiwan.
Houhong Elementary was founded in 1964, serving the historic Houhong settlement in Gangshan District. It holds a distinctive claim in Taiwan's education landscape: it is the only school in the entire country named "Houhong." The settlement itself was historically divided into "Upper Houhong" and "Lower Houhong," and was not administratively split into separate Bihong and Houhong villages until 1982 — nearly two decades after the school had already opened.
後紅國小創立於民國53年（1964年），服務岡山區歷史悠久的後紅聚落。該校在台灣教育版圖上獨具一格——是全台灣唯一以「後紅」命名的學校。後紅聚落歷史上分為「頂後紅」與「下後紅」，直到民國71年（1982年）才行政劃分為碧紅里與後紅里兩個里，比學校創立晚了將近二十年。
