Maraveh Tappeh (Persian: مراوه تپّه)[a] is a city in the Central District of Maraveh Tappeh County, Golestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] As a village, it was the capital of Maraveh Tappeh Rural District[5] until its capital was transferred to the village of Suzesh.[4]
Demographics
Ethnicity and religion
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]
Population
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 5,602 in 1,147 households,[6] when it was capital of the former Maraveh Tappeh District of Kalaleh County.[7] The following census in 2011 counted 7,906 people in 1,664 households,[8] 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.[4] The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 8,671 people in 2,072 households.[2]
