Maraveh Tappeh
Maraveh Tappeh (Persian: مراوه تپّه) is a city in the Central District of Maraveh Tappeh County, Golestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district. As a village, it was the capital of Maraveh Tappeh Rural District until its capital was transferred to the village of Suzesh.
The city was fully Turkmen in its ethnic composition and Hanafi Sunni Muslim in its religion. But as of late, it has been settled by a growing number of Khurasani Kurds of Shia Islamic religious persuasion. Consequently, the town now has a mixed ethnic and religious population of Sunni Turkmens and Shia Kurds.[citation needed]
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 5,602 in 1,147 households, when it was capital of the former Maraveh Tappeh District in Kalaleh County. The following census in 2011 counted 7,906 people in 1,664 households, by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Maraveh Tappeh County. Maraveh Tappeh was transferred to the new Central District as the county's capital. The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 8,671 people in 2,072 households.
