The village of Agouseliana lies 24 km south of Rethymnon and on a 350 m altitude between the Kourtaliotiko Gorge and Kotsifou gorge. It is built in a small valley which merges with the plain of Koxare. In the north, there is the hill of Kefala and in the south we see Atsipadiana.
Agkouseliana was named after a villager who came during the Turkish occupation from the village of Kouse of Messara (Kouselianos - Agkouselianos - Agkouseliana).
The earth is loamy and sandy and in many places we can see coals and turf. Residents are mainly occupied with farming and stockbreeding and produce olive oil and horticultural and stockbreeding products. Also, two big modern units producing dairy and olive products, operate in the area. Agkouseliana together with Palaioloutra have 330 residents, according to the 2003 census.
The village has been inhabited for a long time, since there is much proof of life in this area dating back to many centuries in the past. The area around this village is full of horn chips, which belong to horn-roofed tombs, and vessels of the Hellenistic and Roman eras.
