Over a century in Hunei District.
Dahu Elementary was founded on November 10, 1901 (Meiji 34), during the Japanese colonial era, as Dahu Public School — making it one of the oldest schools in Hunei District. It was renamed Changzhi Public School in 1917, reverted to Dahu Public School in 1933, became Dahu National School in 1941, and took its present name, Dahu Elementary School, in 1968. The school celebrated its centennial in 2000 and has now passed 120 years of continuous operation.
大湖國小創立於1901年（明治34年）11月10日，日治時期名為「大湖公學校」，是湖內區歷史最悠久的學校之一。1917年改稱「長治公學校」，1933年恢復「大湖公學校」原名，1941年改為「大湖國民學校」，民國57年（1968年）定名「大湖國民小學」至今。學校已於民國89年（2000年）舉辦建校百週年慶，如今校史已超過120年。

An early root of Hunei's schools.
As one of the earliest public schools established in what is now Hunei District, Dahu Elementary's history predates many of the administrative changes that later shaped the district — a living link to the earliest years of formal schooling in this once lagoon-fringed farming region. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
