Two hamlets, one school.
Wuguang Elementary School formed in 1958 from the merger of two branch classrooms established the previous year — one serving the Wuguang area and one serving the Guangming area. The combined name, "五光," reflects this joining of two small farming communities in western Wuri District into a single, independent school.
五光國小創立於民國47年（1958年），由前一年設立的兩個分班合併而成——一處服務五光地區，一處服務光明地區。合併後校名「五光」正是這兩個小型農村聚落結合為一所獨立學校的見證。
