The wider settlement is thought to have been created by the amalgamation of smaller settlements in the 17th century. Its inhabitants were engaged in nomadic animal husbandry and craftsmanship. It also had several craftsmen, and in the 17th century Grammousta was famous for its hagiographers.[4]
The development of the economy of Gramos led to the overpopulation of herds and people in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Since 1756, a Greek school had been operating in the village.[5]
