A name that remembers the tide.
Haipu Elementary opened in 1952 as a branch of Wenxian Elementary School, becoming independent on August 1, 1955. Affectionately known by its tagline "Home of the Haipu Kids" (海埔囡仔ㄟ厝), the school takes its name from Haipu, meaning "seashore mudflat" — a reminder that this part of Hunei District was once reclaimed coastal and tidal land near the mouth of the Erren River.
海埔國小創立於民國41年（1952年），原為文賢國民學校分校，民國44年（1955年）8月1日獨立設校。學校以「海埔囡仔ㄟ厝」為暱稱，校名「海埔」意指海濱泥灘地，訴說著湖內區這片土地曾是二仁溪出海口一帶開墾而成的海埔地。
