Named for a Republican-era political ideal.
Wuquan Elementary split off from the Japanese-era Qingye National School on April 1, 1942, and was renamed Wuquan National School in September 1946. Its name, "五權" ("five powers"), references Sun Yat-sen's Five-Power Constitution, a common naming convention from Taiwan's early Republican era. In 1984, the school added a special class for hearing-impaired students.
五權國小於1942年（昭和17年，日治時期）4月1日自「青葉國民學校」分出設校，1946年9月更名為五權國民學校。校名「五權」取自孫中山「五權憲法」理念，是台灣早期民國時代常見的命名傳統。1984年，學校增設聽障特殊班。
