About Russellville, Arkansas
Russellville is the county seat of and the largest city in Pope County, Arkansas, United States. Before the town was named Russellville, its vicinity was known as Chactas Prairie, the Prairie, or Cactus Flats. Located on the southern edge of the Ozark Mountains and north of the Arkansas River, this setting was an ideal settlement area. In 2013, Russellville was chosen as one of the filming locations for the independent Christian film Cowboys and Jesus. One scene was filmed at Cyclone Stadium, depicting a football game in which locals from the area were invited to attend, appearing as "extras". (Wikipedia)
