The municipality of Gramais consists of the following populated place (with population in brackets as of 1 January 2022): being the village of Gramais (40), with the sub-villages of Dörfl and Gschwendt; alongside the hamlet of Riefen, and some vineyards called Bergwachthütte, Gampenhütte and Zirmebenhütte.

Gramais was first documented in 1427. The name deduce from lat. "Graminosa" (grassy) or from romance "grumoso" (weed-rich), rather "grassy area".
Settlement took place in the 13th century from the Imst area. First used only as pasture, developed here a permanent settlement. In 1837, Gramais still had 121 inhabitants. The community is today on a well-developed 8.5 km long road from Häselgehr reachable. Gramais was until 1938 part of the district Imst and until 1947 part of the judicial district Imst.
The rising bull over the red ground indicates the grazing and settlement of the Gramaiser valley of Imst.[3]
