Shiding's founding school.
Shiding Elementary School opened in 1904 as a branch of Shenkeng Public School (深坑公學校), becoming an independent school as Shiding Public School (石碇公學校) in 1909. It is one of New Taipei's recognized "century-old schools" and the oldest school in Shiding District, tracing the district's education history back to the Japanese-era settlement centered on the Jingmei River crossing that grew wealthy on tea and camphor trading.
