It was first mentioned in 1408 as "Luttiken Agele". It is called Klein (Little) to distinguish from Groot Agelo (Big).[3] Since 2009, both hamlets are listed under Agelo.[4][5] Klein Agelo is mentioned on direction signs, however there are no place name signs to indicate that you have arrived in the hamlet.[5]

In the rural countryside some good examples can be found of timber framed barns and farmhouses build in the local traditional style of the Low German house.
