From a sugar company's school to the city's own.
Fuxing Elementary began in February 1947 as the "Taiwan Sugar Corporation Second District Branch Employees' School," built on land owned by the Taiwan Sugar Corporation to educate the children of its workers. The school was renamed twice more as its administration shifted — to "Pingtung City South District Taisugar Substitute National School" in 1949, and to "Pingtung County Taisugar Substitute National School" in 1951 when Pingtung City became part of the county. In August 1968 the county government formally took over the school, renaming it Fuxing Elementary School. Just two years later, in 1970, Taiwan Sugar Corporation needed the land to build a paper pulp mill; in exchange, the company funded new school buildings and donated them to the county government, and the school moved to its current site on Fuxing Road in 1971, taking its current name from the road itself.
復興國小創立於民國36年(1947年)2月,初名「台糖第二區分公司子弟學校」,建於台糖公司土地上,供員工子弟就讀。隨行政體制變動,民國38年(1949年)2月改名為「屏東市南區台糖代用國民學校」,民國40年(1951年)8月屏東市併入縣轄後,再改名為「屏東縣台糖代用國民學校」。民國57年(1968年)8月,縣府正式接管學校,改名為「屏東市復興國民小學」。僅兩年後的民國59年(1970年),台糖公司因需建造紙漿廠而需用該地,作為交換,台糖出資興建新校舍並捐贈予縣政府,學校於民國60年(1971年)遷至現址——復興路,並以此路名為校名沿用至今。
What makes this school worth knowing.
🏭 Born as a Sugar Company School
創校自台糖員工子弟學校
Founded in 1947 as the Taiwan Sugar Corporation's Second District Branch Employees' School, Fuxing traces its lineage directly to Pingtung's postwar sugar-industry company-town schooling system.
🏗️ Rebuilt When a Paper Mill Moved In
因紙漿廠遷建校舍
In 1970, Taiwan Sugar Corporation swapped land to build a paper pulp mill, funding new school buildings that the county government took over — leading to the school's 1971 move to its current site.
📛 Named for Its Own Road
以路名命名
After moving to Fuxing Road in 1971, the school adopted the road's name as its own — the final of several name changes across its 24-year institutional history at that point.
A living link to Pingtung's sugar economy.
Its founding as a Taiwan Sugar Corporation employee school directly reflects the Pingtung Plain's historic sugarcane and sugar-refining economy, one of the defining industries of the region prior to urbanization — and its later relocation, prompted by the construction of a paper pulp mill on the original site, shows how that industrial legacy continued to reshape the neighborhood. See the Pingtung county page for more on the region.
