Rubem Siqueira Maia (Curvelo, February 15, 1908 – Coronel Fabriciano, January 20, 1982) was a Brazilian physician and politician. After living in São João del-Rei during his childhood and graduating from the School of Medicine of Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), he moved to Vale do Rio Doce to work on the construction of the Vitória-Minas Railway (EFVM) in the 1930s.[1]
Later, he settled in Antônio Dias, where he was elected mayor. He stood out as one of the creators of the Hospital Siderúrgica (currently Doutor José Maria Morais Hospital) next to Belgo-Mineira Steel Company in the district of Melo Viana. He also created a pro-emancipation commission for the district, supported by his childhood friend and state deputy Tancredo Neves. This process culminated in the creation of the current municipality of Coronel Fabriciano in 1948, with Rubem being the first mayor elected the following year.
