仁愛國小於民國45年（1956年）8月奉准設立，初名「仁愛國民學校」，首任校長陳西泉於同年9月到任，並於同年12月23日舉行創校典禮。民國48年（1959年）首屆畢業生畢業，民國57年（1968年）改稱「仁愛國民小學」。本校設立目的在於分擔佳里國小學生數過多的壓力，創校時即承接該校二、三、四年級部分班級學生。

📈 A Marker of Postwar Growth
戰後人口成長見證
Its creation reflects Jiali town's rapid postwar population boom, as the district's traditional commercial center outgrew its original schools.
Jiali, market town of the coastal plain.
Ren-ai Elementary's founding illustrates Jiali town's post-war population boom as the district's traditional commercial center expanded. The wider district remains centered on Jinluan Temple (金唐殿), one of the Tainan coastal plain's key Wangye "King Boat Festival" temples, and on the Siraya Pingpu ancestor-spirit (阿立祖) worship traditions found in the surrounding hamlets. See the Tainan county page for more on the region.
