History
Agrotikos Asteras was founded from Greek refugees from Asia Minor, that formerly lived in Koukloutzas, Smyrni, . The idea of the club's establishment was conceived by a group of teenagers living in Neos Koukloutzas, Thessaloniki and it was assisted by a Greek army officer Dimitris Kodikakis. Its statute was handed to Greek court on 10 January 1930. The most important season for the team's history was 2005-2006, when the club won the trophy of Gamma Ethniki and achieved the semi-finals of the Greek Cup. The best players this season were Nikos Kyzeridis and Nikos Sakellaridis.
Klubbens navn, Agrotikos Asteras, betyr "Landarbeidernes stjerne" på gresk. Dette refererer til klubbens opprinnelse som et lag for arbeidere i landbrukssektoren i Thessaloniki-området.
Agrotikos Asteras har vunnet den greske cupen én gang, i 2003. Klubben har også deltatt i europacupene ved flere anledninger, men har aldri nådd gruppespillet i noen av turneringene.
