Legend has it that the town of Leskovac was named after the former lake, which was located beneath the hill. The new plant of hazelnut /leska, lesnik/ appeared on the place where the lake evaporated and provided the name of the settlement. During Turkish rule, the settlement was called Hisar, after the Turkish word for fortress. Even today the hill above the town of Leskovac bears the name Hisar.
