The village is built at an altitude of 840m., green, with many trees, mainly walnut, apple, cherry, fig, and rich orchards. A beautiful village, with many waters and plane trees at their sources. In the village is the central fountain with three spouts and the Stupathi fountain with two spouts. The springs of Christ, outside the village, with running water and century-old plane trees are a natural and tourist wealth.

Our village was founded 350 years ago. In the official census of 1700, it had 12 families - 18 men and 25 women - with 43 inhabitants, while in 1928 144 women and 186 men were recorded - a total of 330 inhabitants. Today there are about 25 residents living in 75 houses.

In the middle of the village is the house of the chieftain Ioannis Papadopoulos or Mourtogiannis, which is well preserved. This mansion belongs to the village and the municipality.

The chieftain of our village took part in the meeting of Vostitsa (Aigio) on 23/1/1821, as well as in Agia Lavra during the feast of Agios Alexios, on 17/3/1821, where the decision of the Revolution was taken. The agitator and rich at that time, John Papadopoulos lent 100,000 groats for the equipment of the Revolution. Kolokotronis and his entourage stayed here overnight to consult with the chieftains.

In 1940, 45 villagers participated in the Albanian and German-Italian war, and fortunately all of them returned to the village unharmed. Their names are inscribed on a commemorative plaque inside the building. Several of them also took part in the National Resistance.

The international path E4 where Greek and European mountaineers and hikers pass and walk goes through Agios Nikolaos. Finally, an effort is being made to build accommodation facilities for tourists-visitors.
