Manatuto District is one of the 13 administrative districts of the Republic of Timor-Leste and is located on the northern coast of the country, covering an area of approximately 1,782 square kilometers. The capital of the district, the city of Manatuto, is the economic and cultural center of the area, which is dominated by fishing, agriculture and a small amount of tourism. Geographically, Manatuto has rugged mountains and coastline, a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, and a population of about 45,000, mostly speaking Tetum and Portuguese. The economy is based on subsistence agriculture and coffee growing, and the infrastructure is relatively simple, although natural features such as beaches and mountains attract a small number of tourists. The history of the district has been influenced by Portuguese colonization and Indonesian occupation, and has developed gradually since independence from Timor-Leste in 2002.
