Marabá is a Brazilian municipality located in the southeast of the state of Pará, in the North Region of the country. Its location is defined by the meeting point of two large rivers, the Tocantins and the Itacaiúnas, which form a kind of “Y” in the heart of the city when seen from above. The municipal seat is basically made up of six urban centres linked by highways.
European-origin settlement of the Marabá region began in the early 19th century but only became consolidated with the arrival of Arab, Goiás and Maranhão immigrants in 1894. Municipal emancipation took place in 1913, and the seat was elevated to city status in 1923. For a long period, the development of the municipality was driven by plant extraction, but with the discovery of the Carajás Mineral Province, Marabá developed very rapidly, becoming a municipality with a strong industrial, agricultural and commercial vocation. Today, Marabá is a major logistics hub, connected to the national territory by five highways and by air, rail and river.
