In Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, what is the name of Frodo’s home village?

The story behind the answer

Frodo’s home village in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy is Hobbiton.

Hobbiton is a settlement in the Shire, the rural homeland of the hobbits. It includes Bag End, the hillside home associated with Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. The films establish Hobbiton as the peaceful starting point of the story before Frodo leaves with the One Ring.

Hobbiton is sometimes confused with the wider region of the Shire. The Shire is the country; Hobbiton is a village within it. Jackson filmed the Hobbiton set near Matamata on New Zealand’s North Island. The location became a permanent visitor attraction, and the set was rebuilt in durable materials for The Hobbit films.
