Over 120 years on the site of a historic hamlet.
Chenggong Elementary was founded on April 1, 1904, during the Japanese colonial era, as the Lingyaliao Branch of Takao Public School (打狗公學校苓雅寮分校). Over more than 120 years of continuous history, the school has remained on the original site of the historic Lingyaliao hamlet — the very settlement that gave Lingya District its name. Chenggong Elementary shares this founding root with nearby Lingzhou Elementary School: the two schools trace back to the same 1904 branch before splitting into separate campuses in 1937, making them historical "sibling" institutions rather than unrelated schools.
成功國小創校於1904年(明治37年,日治時期)4月1日,前身為「打狗公學校苓雅寮分校」。逾120年來,學校始終座落於歷史聚落「苓雅寮」原址——正是苓雅區地名的發源地。成功國小與鄰近的苓洲國小系出同源:兩校皆可追溯至1904年的同一分校,直到1937年才分設為兩個獨立校區,堪稱歷史上的「姊妹校」,而非彼此無關的學校。
