The name Ramecourt first appeared in a document from 1187. During the Ancien Régime , Ramecourt was part of the Mirecourt Bailiwick . Ecclesiastically, Ramecourt was always part of the parish in the neighboring parish of Domvallier . Ramecourt has no church to this day. There used to be a small oratory , of which no remains have survived today. The municipality's archive was lost between 1970 and 1996 - probably when moving from the old town hall and school building ( mairie-école ) to the new town hall.
