The Marelles District is home to 203,000 people that live within the City of Joliendroit. A central hub of transportation within the country and the region, it is estimated that within the matter of a day, over 1 million people will be traveling through this area between city residents, suburban commuters, and tourists. As the area has grown, the district has developed neighborhoods and communities that all have historical presence within them.

Place Toussaint is named after a resistance member which allowed Sierrastare to escape from the dictator regime of the 1970's and spearheaded economic and social reform during the 1980's into the 1990's. After his death in 1995, the park was dedicated in his honor and the botanical gardens was inaugurated in his honor in 1998 with the official designation as a neighborhood.

About a half mile to the north the Marelles neighborhood is area full of usual wall to wall homes that are an assortment of European styling with some American influences mixed inbetween. Most of this area was constructed during the urban construction boom of the 1920's and while originally many of the homes were single family homes, many have turned into apartments. The first urban elementary school Chateux Albené Learning Centre was opened here in January 1872. Since then, the elementary school has reconstructed their school building twice, with the location and address remaining the same for the last 141 years.

Opened in 1932, the Marie-Therése Academy is the first magnet public high school catering to some of the best minds in the country. The building closed after the 2012 school year in December with the school's relocation three quarters of a mile away in the Siena district. The school is expected to turn into the the Grammatia De Marelles et Champs, the first Grammatia opened in the country since 1929. Renovations are expected to be finished by summer 2014 and the Grammatia should open by January 2015 accepting students.

Joltracen is an English syllabic abbreviation which stands for Joliendroit Transportation Centre. This neighborhood was designated in 1981 with the completed construction of a subway station at the Joliendroit Rail Terminal. The area is known for being a place for a lot of commercial activity and high number of tourist traffic. During any point of the week there is over 1 million people trying to catch connecting trains, buses, or subways to travel further into the city or to make their way out to the suburbs and beyond. The Joliendroit Rail Terminal's construction had started in 1899 and finished with the construction of Platform 14 in 1919. Today the rail station is considered to be sorely obselete and is in need of a replacement terminal. Studies done indicates that in 1992, the terminal should have been overhauled and by 2022, it will be twice beyond it's operating capacity.

Wèllèska is housing development which grew into it's own neighborhood on the fringes of Marelles jurisdiction in 1982. During the city's housing crisis in the 1980's, many of city's poorest residents demanded housing. The city and national government constructed this area with it becoming a planned paradise in mind. After it's completion in 1989, the area has fallen into some slight urban decay with little coverage of mass transportation services and no school for this area. As a result, the city has slated the Wèllèska Comprehensive School to be opened in 2015 for residents of this neighborhood as well as those in the neighboring low-level jurisdictions.
