Frodo Baggins’s home village in J.R.R. Tolkien’s stories is Hobbiton.
Hobbiton is a settlement in the Shire, a peaceful region inhabited mainly by hobbits. Frodo lives at Bag End, a comfortable smial built into a hill overlooking the village. Bilbo Baggins also lives there, and his birthday party at the beginning of The Lord of the Rings sets the story’s central journey in motion.
Hobbiton is closely associated with the Green Dragon Inn, the Party Tree, and the road leading toward Bywater. These locations help establish the Shire as a familiar, rural home before Frodo leaves it. The village’s ordinary routines contrast sharply with the dangers beyond its borders.
Bree is a separate settlement east of the Shire, where Frodo meets Aragorn under the name Strider. Bywater is another village within the Shire, while Michel Delving is the Shire’s chief town. These names are sometimes confused because all are important places in the same region.
