Born from a growing postwar Meinong.
Longshan Elementary School began in August 1953 as a branch campus of Longdu Elementary School, known as the Longshan Branch, and became a fully independent school in August 1954. Its founding reflects the population growth Meinong experienced in the years after the war, as the area's oldest schools began to spin off new, more locally accessible campuses.
龍山國小於民國42年（1953年）8月創校，最初為龍肚國小的分校，稱為「龍山分校」，並於民國43年（1954年）8月正式獨立設校。其設校背景反映了美濃在戰後人口成長的趨勢，當地歷史最悠久的學校紛紛衍生出更貼近在地需求的分校。

🐉 Sharing the 'Dragon' Name
「龍」字地名傳承
Longshan's name carries forward the same "dragon" naming tradition as its parent school, Longdu ("Dragon's Belly"), reflecting their shared origin.
Part of Meinong's postwar school expansion.
Longshan Elementary's split from the century-old Longdu Elementary School in the early 1950s mirrors a broader pattern across Meinong District, where postwar population growth led older schools to spin off new branch campuses for local children. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
