| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| In {{TA|1601}}, Marcho and his the brother [[Blanco]] led a group of mostly [[Harfoots|Harfoot]] [[hobbits]] westwards from [[Bree]]. They crossed [[Baranduin]] and with the permission of [[King of Arthedain|King]] [[Argeleb II]] they settled in the royal hunting grounds of [[Arthedain]] and founded [[the Shire]]. Soon after (c. {{TA|1630}}), [[Stoors]] from [[Dunland]] came to this new land.<ref>{{FR|Hobbits}}</ref>
