A school tied to a district's urbanization and a village's relocation.
Fenglin Junior High was founded in 1979, the same year that Siaogang Township was formally annexed into Kaohsiung City. The school has been nicknamed the “Cape of Hope School” (海角希望學園) for its administrative role in the resettlement program tied to Honggang (紅毛港), the historic fishing village whose community was relocated to make way for Kaohsiung's port and steel-industry expansion. Its own name, “鳳” (phoenix), echoes the historic Fongbitou and Dalinpu coastal villages that were themselves relocated for the same industrial development.
鳳林國中創立於民國68年(1979年),正是小港鄉正式併入高雄市的同一年。學校因協助安置紅毛港遷村計畫相關學生,而有「海角希望學園」之稱;紅毛港是為了配合高雄港與臨海工業區擴建而遷村的歷史悠久漁村。校名中的「鳳」字,亦呼應了同樣因產業擴建而遷村的鳳鼻頭與大林蒲等沿海聚落歷史。

🐦 A Name Echoing Relocated Coastal Villages
校名呼應遷村聚落
“鳳” (phoenix) in the school's name recalls the historic Fongbitou and Dalinpu fishing villages, both relocated for port and steel-industry expansion.
A name and a mission both tied to village relocation.
Fenglin Junior High's history is entwined with Kaohsiung's port and steel-industry expansion, which required the relocation of historic fishing communities including Honggang (紅毛港) — whose resettled students the school helped absorb — as well as the Fongbitou and Dalinpu villages that gave the district its “Feng” (鳳, phoenix) place names. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
