With the creation of the second village, the island was administratively: Santa Cruz da Graciosa, including the village, the areas of northeast including Guadalupe, and Praia, including the village and areas of the parish of Luz. This continued until the 19th century, when the second administrative code imposed by the Liberal government eliminated the municipality of Praia and integrated the administrative functions into the municipality of Santa Cruz da Graciosa. Praia also lost its status as village, only recuperating it on June 24, 2003 by Regional Decree (n.º 29/2003/A), approved by the Azorean Parliament.

Graciosa Aerodrome has retained the island's links to the archipelago while strengthening exports and importing goods and services. In addition to this, the island has benefited from infrastructural investments that have included the re-qualification of the secondary school, the construction of a new milk factory and fishing port. As well, improvements to the recreational areas in Praia and refurbishment of the Thermals in Carapacho, the construction of a new hotel and Medical Center have been done in order to improve both the tourist industry and support the local community.
