Maardu (Script error: No such module "IPA"., Template:Langx) is a town and a municipality in Harju County, Estonia. It is part of Tallinn metropolitan area, located about Template:Convert east of the capital city.[1] The town covers an area of 22.76 km2 and has a population of 16,170 (as of 1 January 2021).[2]
The Port of Muuga, the largest cargo port in Estonia, is partly located in Maardu.[3]
According to the 2000 Census, the population was 16,738. 61.7% were Russians, 19.9% Estonians, 6.6% Ukrainians, 5.7% Belarusians, 1.5% Tatars. The proportion of Estonians was one of the lowest (if not the lowest) in Central and Western Estonia.
Outside the town (in the village of Maardu), south of the road to Narva lies Maardu manor, one of the oldest preserved baroque manor houses in Estonia. It traces its origins to 1389, but the current building dates from the 1660s with additions made in the 19th century. The landlord of the manor Herman Jensen Bohn in 1739 funded the printing of the first bible printed in Estonian.[4]
