"Sanmin" redirects here. For the political theories enunciated by Sun Yat-sen, see Three Principles of the People. For the district formerly known as Sanmin Township of Kaohsiung County, see Namaxia District.
During the Ming dynasty, the Wang, Tsai, and Cheng families built houses in the area to farm the land. The area was thus named Sankuaicu (三塊厝; 'Three Houses'). After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China, the area was renamed Sanmin to set a good example.[2]

"103年7月19日，高雄日僑學校正式向舊校舍道別，在這屋簷下歷經了無數次的歡樂始業式、也歡送了無數屆學生畢業，43年的春夏秋冬中學生們來來去去，唯有校舍見證了老師與同學們的歡笑與甘苦。向它道別，必然帶著不捨與惆悵心情，故在遷校前夕，畢業生、以前的家長及同學們，大家齊聚一堂，或撿拾校園中的落葉、或拿回自己名字的名牌、或拍下充滿回憶的校園一角，共同拾取點點滴滴的珍貴回憶。"
