The commune is a village of mixed farming situated 25 km (16 mi) northeast of Abbeville on the D56 road.

History

Destroyed by the English at the time of the battle of Crecy in 1346 and rebuilt on a new site. Rebuilt after the bombardments of 1944, when 95% of the village was destroyed, as the V1 rocket site was nearby. Agenville was once a centre of a pilgrimage.
