From a branch school to a protected landmark.
Zhongshan Elementary was founded in 1937 (Showa 12) as a branch of Takara Public School (寶公學校昭和分教場), becoming an independent school in 1939 under the name "Showa Public School" (昭和公學校). The school was severely damaged in the Keelung Air Raid during World War II, forcing a relocation, and was renamed multiple times after the war before settling on its current name, 中山國小, in 1968. Today the school's campus spans 2.4 hectares, and one of its historic buildings is registered as a protected historic structure.
中山國小創立於昭和12年（1937年），最初為「寶公學校昭和分教場」，昭和14年（1939年）獨立設校，命名為「昭和公學校」。二戰期間，學校在「基隆大空襲」中嚴重受損，被迫遷校。戰後校名幾經更迭，最終於民國57年（1968年）定名為「中山國小」。目前校地面積達2.4公頃，校內一棟歷史建築已登錄為古蹟。
