Nearly a century in a tea-growing mountain hamlet.
Yongding Elementary School began in 1926 as a study hall under Japanese rule, formally established as the Daxijian branch school of Shiding Public School (石碇公學校大溪墘分教場). It took its current name in 1968 and today serves the mountain hamlet of Yongding, along the Jingmei River tributary system that once fed the area's tea-growing economy.

🏫 Nearly a Century of History
創校近百年
Tracing its roots to 1926 and renamed to its current title in 1968, Yongding Elementary is nearly a hundred years old.
A hamlet built on tea.
Yongding, the mountain hamlet where the school sits, was once part of the tea-growing economy fed by the Jingmei River's tributary system — a way of life that shaped Shiding's old hamlets long before the district became a protected watershed area. See the New Taipei county page for more on the region.
