Kizilsu, also spelled Kizil Su, refers to the Kezi River and means “red water” (克孜勒苏河) in the Kyrgyz language,[8] similar to the name of Kyzyl-Suu, Kyrgyzstan. Kizilsu is transliterated into Chinese characters as '克孜勒苏', which is read in Mandarin Chinese as Kezilesu (pinyin-derived) and K'o-tzu-le-su[9] / K'o-tzu-lo-su (Wade-Giles derived).
The name Kizilsu is similar to that of the nearby Zhetysu region which means "seven rivers".[10] The name of Aksu Prefecture and of Aksu Prefecture's Onsu County (Wensu), which means "ten water" in Uyghur and other Turkic languages, all these names consist of a descriptor followed by 'su' (river; water).[11]
Other nearby places with the word 'kizil' (red) in their names include Kiziloy, Kizil Caves and Kizilto.
On July 14, 1954, Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Region was established. In February 1955, the region was changed to a prefecture as Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture.[12][2]
In 1955, Barin, Jamaterek and Ujme were transferred from Yengisar County to Akto County and Bulungkol was transferred to Akto County from Tashkurgan County in modern Kashgar Prefecture.[13]
In April 1990, the Baren Township riot occurred in Barin Township, Akto County.
Kizilsu directly controls 1 county-level city and 3 counties.
