Maripaston was a village situated in the Bigi Poika resort of the Para District, Suriname.

The site where Maripaston was established had previously been the location of the wood plantation Sonnette, which had been operational since at least 1819 but was abandoned after 1832.

[1] The village itself was founded after 1836 by Adensi, the daughter of granman (paramount leader) Kodjo, though the inhabitants were later forced to leave by the authorities.

[2] In 1852, Noah Adrai resettled the village, and a Moravian church was constructed there in 1860 by Johannes King, a missionary.

[4] However, in 1898, when Lavanti Agubaka, who lived in Boven Saramacca, was elected as the new granman, Maripaston lost its status as the main village of the Matawai.
