I. History
Nangang District comprises mainly of mountains and hills (Thumb Mountain Scenic Spot). Only in the vicinity of Keelung River is a flatter land. In earlier days, it used to be an agricultural and industrial area. It has flourished and prospered in recent years due to its proximity to Taipei City. The local residents have requested the setup of a high school to balance the education developments of all Taipei City districts and facilitate the schooling of students living in the eastern district.
