The ancient name of this village is Trouloti, and thus is rendered in Venetian documentation and censuses. In Ottoman register of 1671 it is not quoted, but it appears again in 1834 (census of Pashley) with its current name. In census of1881 is also recorded as Tourloti belonging to then municipality of Partira.
The name of village emanated from its panoramic position, at the top of the last hill range that begins from Tefeli, kefalochori of Asterousia municipality.

The settlement is Armanogia in the municipal district of Metaxohori located at an altitude of 380 meters and distance from Heraklion 38 km southwest a short distance from the monastery of Epanosifi.
POPULATION: 123 (Census 2001)ALTITUDE: 380m.DISTANCE FROM HERAKLION: 38km.Recommended routes: A)-Heraklion Knossos-Spilia-Kounavoi-Peza-Kalloni-Ag. Vasileios-Partheni-Houdetsi Armanogeia. B) Heraklion-Skalani-Peza-Kalloni-St-Basil-Partheni-Houdetsi Armanogeia. (Via the new national road Heraklion-Viannos). C)-Heraklion Knossos-Spilia-Patsides-Arhanes-Vathipetro-Partheni-Armanogeia.
This settlement like many others in the central and southern prefecture of Heraklion claim the credit for its rich music tradition. Many singers, lyre-players and Cretan rhyme-makers (mantinades/mantinadologoi) masters of the Cretan dialect, have their origin in that region.
The plain in the region provides fertile soil, which is cultivated by the people and produces wine grapes and olive oil without coming behind on livestock products. A large and important project for - and not only - Armanogeia is the construction of the dam that was completed recently.
The amount of water is enough to gather the crops and to maintain the newly established flora and fauna. Hundreds of local and migratory birds rush here all day and along with the dominant inhabitant, the turtle, give a special beauty to the landscape.www.endoxora-irakleiou.gr
