Until 1 January 2007, Maribo was also a municipality ([[Danish language|Danish]], ''[[Municipalities of Denmark|kommune]]'')  in the former [[Storstrøm County]]. The municipality, which included the islands of [[Askø]] ("Ash Island") and [[Lilleø]] ("little Island") in the Rågø Sound, covered an area of 154&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>, and had a total population of 11,098 (2005).  Its last mayor was Liljan Køcks, a member of the [[Socialist People's Party (Denmark)|Socialist People's Party]] (''Socialistisk Folkeparti'') [[Politics of Denmark|political party]].

Maribo Municipality ceased to exist as the result of [[Municipalities of Denmark#Municipal Reform 2007|''Kommunalreformen'' ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007)]].  It was merged with [[Holeby]], [[Højreby]], [[Nakskov]], [[Ravnsborg]], [[Rudbjerg]] and [[Rødby]] municipalities to form the new [[Lolland Municipality]].  This created a municipality with an area of 892&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> and a total population of 49,469 (2005).
