Maraveh Tappeh (Persian: مراوه تپّه, also Romanized as Maravehtepe, Marveh Tappeh, and Morāveh Tappeh; also known as Maraveh (Persian: مَراوِه, also Romanized as Marāveh)[3] 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]

At the 2006 National Census, its population was 5,602 in 1,147 households, when it was in the former Maraveh Tappeh District of Kalaleh County.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 7,906 people in 1,664 households,[6] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Maraveh Tappeh County.[4] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 8,671 people in 2,072 households.[2]

The town 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]
