Overflow relief for a booming riverside area.
Hulu Elementary School was founded on August 1, 1975, specifically to relieve overcrowding at Sezi Elementary as the population of the "Hulu Island" (葫蘆島) area surged. The school takes its name from this "Hulu" (gourd-shaped) river island area of Sezi at Shilin's northwestern tip, between the Danshui and Keelung Rivers. One of the youngest elementary schools in the district, it was split off directly from Sezi Elementary alongside Bailing Elementary.
葫蘆國小創立於民國64年（1975年）8月1日，因應「葫蘆島」地區人口激增，為紓解社子國小過度擁擠而設立。校名取自社子地區「葫蘆」形河川沙洲，位於士林西北端、淡水河與基隆河交會處。作為士林區最年輕的小學之一，葫蘆國小與百齡國小同樣是從社子國小分出獨立設校。
