The district's original school.
Wanli Elementary School dates to around 1913, when it opened as Malian (瑪鋉) Public School during the Japanese colonial era — a name preserving Wanli's pre-1920s toponym, before Japanese administrators renamed the area "Wanli." As the district's oldest and largest elementary school, it is the original "root" institution from which other Wanli-area schools branched off — including Daping Elementary, which split away from it in 1922.
萬里國小創立年代約在日治時期民國前1年（西元1913年），初名「瑪鋉公學校」——「瑪鋉」正是萬里在1920年代日本行政官員將此地改名為「萬里」之前的舊稱。作為萬里地區歷史最悠久、規模最大的國小，該校是本地其他學校的「母校」源頭，包括民國11年（1922年）自其分出的大坪國小。
