What is the name of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fictional land of the Hobbits?

J.R.R. Tolkien’s fictional land of the Hobbits is the Shire.

The Shire is a settled region in northwestern Middle-earth, inhabited mainly by Hobbits. It contains familiar Hobbit communities such as Hobbiton and Bywater, and it is the home of Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins.

Tolkien portrays the Shire as a rural society organized around farms, inns, family customs, local administration, and a strong attachment to home. Its peaceful appearance contrasts with the wars and dangers beyond its borders.

The Shire is not the same place as Hobbiton: Hobbiton is one village within the Shire. Bree is another nearby settlement, while Rivendell and Rohan are separate regions with different peoples and histories.
