Cecil is a small, quiet place in Franklin County, Arkansas, United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that don't have their own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
Cecil is located about 7.5 miles (12 km) southwest of a town called Ozark. You can find it where two main roads, Highway 41 and Highway 96, meet. Even though it's not a city, Cecil has its own post office and a special number called a ZIP code, which is 72930.
One of the local spots in Cecil is a business called "The Cecil Store." It's a place where people in the community can shop for everyday items.
Climate in Cecil
The weather in Cecil is usually quite warm. It has what scientists call a humid subtropical climate. This means that the summers are hot and often feel sticky because of the humidity. The winters are generally mild, not too cold, but can sometimes be cool.
This type of climate is common in many parts of the southeastern United States. It gets enough rain throughout the year to support lots of plants and trees.
