Barskoon is the name of a village situated by the shore of Lake Issyk-Kul. Old people say that long ago a Russian man, Boris, set up his house, by the shore of the lake. 
He planted a garden and a kitchen garden. He began to grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables, tomatoes, potatoes, melons and watermelons. That was unprecedented, quite novel in this part of the world.
Time went on, and a Kyrgyz man with his kin settled nearby. The man had never heard of or seen the fruits that were growing in Boris’ garden
and kitchen garden. He was so much tempted by the desire to see and taste them that one autumn day when Boris was out, he went and took a watermelon. The watermelon was very ripe and juicy. When the man was breaking it, it gave a crack that sounded like “barrs”.
By and by, more families came to live in the territory, and a large village settled there. They called the village Barskoon
Kaun or Koon (Kyrgyz) – Melon.
