The village has a Community Church, a public school, a New South Wales Rural Fire Service station, sports ground, tennis courts and the Graman Hotel which was established in 1876.

The first record of European exploration of this area came in 1818, followed by a botanist despatched by the Governor to survey the land and ascertain its suitability for settlement.

When news of the discovery of these rich pasture lands had reached England, emigration to the colony began.

These pioneers began to look further afield, to the unoccupied land beyond the Range where the Government were powerless to prevent occupation.

In 1836 a compromise had to be made by the Government who by 1846 began to issue licences to the squatters on which was now classed as Crown Land.
