Marituba

Marituba is a municipality in the metropolitan area of Belém in northern Brazil, covering a relatively small land area. The territory is densely populated and shows typical characteristics of a rapidly expanding urban community in the region.

The territory gained independence as a municipality in 1994 and became a separate administrative unit within the state of Pará. This creation was an important moment in the division of the region and contributed to the growth of the Belém metropolitan area.

Residents here are called maritubenses and shape daily life in this growing community near Belém. Local traditions blend with the rhythm of a municipality that continues to develop and expand.

The area is located near Belém and is easily reached through existing road connections. As part of the metropolitan region, it benefits from local services and is well integrated into the region's transport network.

Despite its geographical proximity to Belém, the territory maintains its own character as one of the smallest municipalities in the state. This small size makes it a particular example of administrative structures in Brazil's northern region.
