Marau

Marau is a municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It was initially populated by Italian immigrants that were escaping from the war.

For the flightless bird species, see Megapode. For the Tahitian queen, see Queen Marau. For the similarly named municipality in the state of Bahia in the North-East region of Brazil, see Maraú.

The city name is based on the brave native chief "cacique Marau" which fought against the white people to keep the land. He lost the battle in 1840 and it generated a river called Mortandande after the bloody battle.

The economy is based on agriculture and industry.
