Belovodskoye was established by 12 families of back settlers from Astrakhan GovernorateofRussian Empire in spring 1868. The settlement was called Belovodskoye ("white water" in Russian) by the name of the river Ak-Suu ("white water" in Kyrgyz) close to which it was laid. The first street in the village was named Astrakhan. Later the settlers from other areas of the empire mostly from Voronezh Governorate and Orel Governorate joined them. They were followed by more peasants from Poltava Governorate, Kharkov Governorate, and Saratov Governorate. The language used by settlers was a mixture of Russian language and Ukrainian language.[4]
The Ukrainian politician and former boxing champion of the world Vitali Klitschko was born in Belovodskoye.[5]
