One of Taiwan's first four schools.
Ren'ai Elementary traces its origin to "Keelung Elementary School," established August 16, 1898 — one of the very first four elementary schools founded anywhere in Taiwan, making it Keelung's second-oldest school. The school went through several name changes under Japanese rule, and after the Second World War was reorganized as "Ren'ai No.1 National School." In 1947 it split to form two separate schools, Ren'ai and Xinyi, and it took its current name, Ren'ai Elementary, in 1968.
仁愛國小的前身「基隆小學校」創立於1898年（明治31年）8月16日，是全臺灣最早設立的四所小學之一，也是基隆市歷史第二悠久的學校。學校在日治時期歷經數次更名，二戰後改制為「仁愛第一國民學校」，並於1947年（民國36年）分校為仁愛與信義兩校，於1968年（民國57年）定名為仁愛國小。
