Profile
About · 學校簡介

Named for a famous railway junction.

Zhuifen Elementary was established in 1919, during the Japanese colonial era, as 社腳分教場, before being renamed 追分公學校 in 1926. Over 90 years of history later, it remains closely tied to adjacent Zhuifen Station — the historic junction where the Taiwan Railway's mountain and coastal lines split, and the source of the school's Japanese-derived name meaning "fork" or "junction."

追分國小創立於1919年(日治時期),最初名為「社腳分教場」,1926年更名為「追分公學校」。歷經逾90年歲月,學校至今仍與鄰近的追分車站緊密相連——這座車站是台灣鐵路山線與海線的歷史分岔點,也是學校日語衍生校名「追分」(意為分岔)的由來。
