Marau, Administrative division in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Marau spans across 649.7 square kilometers of Brazilian territory at coordinates -28.44217 latitude and -52.27411 longitude in Rio Grande do Sul state.

The region received numerous Italian immigrants who established settlements in the area, leading to the formation of the administrative division during Brazil's territorial organization.

The administrative division carries the name of cacique Marau, a native chief who engaged in territorial battles to defend indigenous lands in the 1840s.

The administrative division manages local governance and public services for a population of 44,858 residents, coordinating agricultural and industrial activities.

The Mortandade river within the administrative boundaries received its name following a significant territorial battle involving cacique Marau's forces.
