Founded in a banana inspection station.
Yongkang Elementary began in September 1953 as a branch of Zhongliao Elementary School, with its first classes notably held in a local banana inspection station — a direct nod to Zhongliao's historic banana trade. The school became independent in 1955 and took its current name in 1968. Its Zhicheng Building was damaged in the 1999 921 earthquake and subsequently rebuilt in 2001, part of the township-wide wave of post-quake reconstruction.
永康國小於民國42年（1953年）9月以中寮國小分校形式設立，最初的課堂竟設於地方香蕉檢查站——直接呼應了中寮鄉昔日的香蕉貿易歷史。學校於民國44年（1955年）獨立設校，民國57年（1968年）更為現名。校內「至誠樓」在民國88年（1999年）921大地震中受損，後於2001年完成重建，是中寮鄉災後重建浪潮的一部分。

From banana trade to honey and longan farming.
Its founding in a local banana inspection station reflects Zhongliao's historic role as a farming township — an economy that later became centered on longan orchards and honey production, especially after the 1999 earthquake reshaped the community. See the Nantou county page for more on the region.
