Marituba is a municipality in the Brazilian state of Pará, located in the North Region of Brazil, about 11 km from the center of the state capital. It is conurbated with Ananindeua and Benevides, both municipalities that form part of the Metropolitan Region of Belém.
It has a population of 111,785 inhabitants (IBGE 2022 Census), making it the 13th most populous municipality in Pará, spread over an area of 103.214 km², and it has the smallest total area of the municipalities in Pará. Its GDP in 2020 was R$ 2.0 billion, ranking fifteenth among the cities of the state.
In 2010, its Human Development Index (HDI-M) was 0.676, considered medium, ranking fifth in the state.
The toponym Marituba comes from the Nheengatu indigenous language and means "Place abundant in Maris (or Umaris)". "Maris" or "Umaris" is a tree belonging to the Icacinaceae family, and "Tuba" means "abundant place".
It is considered a "bedroom city", since most of its inhabitants work and/or study in neighboring municipalities during the day and return to their homes only at night. Residents generally need to take the BR-316 highway to get around, since this road is the main entrance and exit of the city.
