Footloose is the classic story of a hip Chicagoan moving to a small town and not being allowed to express himself through dance. What is the name of the Midwest town in the movie?

The town of Bomont in Footloose is said to be loosely based on Elmore City, a real place Oklahoma which is famous for the saying "If the South is the Bible belt, then we are the buckle." The story in the film is based on a real dancing ban that existed in Elmore City until local high school juniors took matters into their hands to get dance allowed at their prom.
