A village ('in vico Glurnis') in the upper Vinschgau, first named in 1163 when the counts of Tarasp gave property there to the nuns of St.
Johann at Müstair. It is under the bishop of Chur, while the counts of Tyrol favour a neighbouring settlement. It gets its own parish in 1227, a Tyrolean court in 1233, a market in 1291 and is first called a town about 1304.
