A century of history, freshly restored.
Danan Elementary opened in 1919, making it one of the older schools in Xinshe District. The school celebrated its 100th anniversary with the restoration of a school-history museum documenting its long past. Its century of history parallels Xinshe's own transformation, from a community of subsistence farmers into today's flower- and fruit-growing "back garden of Taichung."
大南國小創立於民國8年（1919年），是新社地區歷史較悠久的學校之一。學校在建校百週年之際整修設立校史館，記錄這段悠長的歷史。其百年歷程，恰恰呼應了新社從自給自足的農業聚落，轉型為今日「台中後花園」花卉水果之鄉的蛻變。

Danan Elementary's hundred-plus years trace the same arc as Xinshe itself — from subsistence-farming hamlets to the flower- and fruit-growing region now known affectionately as Taichung's "back garden." See the Taichung county page for more on the region.
