	Bree was by its nature a trading community, due to being located at the major crossroads of the [[Great East Road]]. which ran from the Blue Mountains and the coast to [[Dale]] in the far East, and the old north-south road between Arnor and [[Gondor]]. The latter had fallen out of much use since the destruction of Arnor, and was more commonly referred to as the [[Greenway]] due to its disrepair. Trade had of course drastically declined in the thousand years since the final destruction of Arnor, but even at the end of the Third Age Bree remained relatively prosperous. As a result of its location on major trade routes, one could encounter travelers from all sorts of distant lands in a bustling Bree inn. The [[Rangers of the North]] also were known to stop in Bree for resupply.

−	Bree is the place where seemingly by accident, [[Gandalf]] and [[Thorin]] met on [[15 March~~\|March 15~~]]~~, [[Third Age 2941~~\|~~T.A.~~ 2941]]. They were both thinking about the same problem: the [[Dragons\|Dragon]] [[Smaug]] at the [[Lonely Mountain]].

−	Bree was raided by [[ruffians]] during the [[War of the Ring]], leaving several Men and Hobbits dead. When [[Travellers\|Frodo and his companions]] returned in [[28 ~~October\|October 28~~]], ~~[[Third Age 3019~~\|~~T.A.~~ 3019]], returned to Bree, it seemed like most of the worst had passed. Barliman Butterbur explained to the Hobbits that none of the Bree-landers ever realized how much the Rangers of the North had done for them, but after they all left (to fight in the War of the Ring in the south) all sorts of ruffians and highwaymen and wolves had encroached on the land. The Bree-landers had survived by throwing up some hasty defenses and posting watchmen, but trade had dropped off to almost nothing as they barricaded themselves within their town walls. The Hobbits assured Butterbur that [[Aragorn\|Aragorn II]], known to him as his former customer "Strider", had now been crowned King and would soon venture north to restore order.	+	Bree was raided by [[ruffians]] during the [[War of the Ring]], leaving several Men and Hobbits dead.

It faces threats from several fronts: [[Sharkey]]'s brigands have already began making their way into [[Bree-land]], the [[Barrow-downs]] are stirring following the passage of the [[Nazgul]] and a small band of [[orc]]s has made their way from the [[North Downs]]. The citizens of Bree know more of the bigger world than [[Shire]] dwellers, but are still oblivious to the dangers they could face. The town's mayor and the watchers don't trust the [[Rangers of the North]], insisting they can manage their own affairs. Later, during the winter of {{TA\|3019}}, Bree is overrun by Sharkey's Brigands and [[Half-orc]]s and has to be liberated by Free Peoples - an event references as "Thievery and Mischief" by [[Barliman Butterbur]] later.
