Named for a landmark cave temple.
Xiandong Elementary's roots trace to 1904, when local residents petitioned the Japanese colonial government to establish a branch school; it formally opened on April 1, 1907. The school became independent in 1914, then took its current name and independence again in 1968 after further reorganization. It is named for, and sits next to, Xiandong Rock (仙洞巖), a well-known landmark cave temple near Keelung Harbor's western shore.
仙洞國小的歷史可追溯至明治37年（1904年），當地居民向日本殖民政府請願設立分校，並於明治40年（1907年）4月1日正式開校。學校於大正3年（1914年）獨立設校，之後歷經改制，於民國57年（1968年）再次確立現名與獨立地位。學校因鄰近知名地標「仙洞巖」而得名，該廟宇岩洞座落於基隆港西岸附近。
