The Shire was a country in northwestern Middle-earth, inhabited by the hobbits. It was located in the region of Eriador. By the late Third Age it was one of the few heavily-populated areas left in Eriador. Its name in Westron was Sûza, "Shire," or Sûzat, "The Shire."

A Part of the Shire - Tolkien Gateway
J.R.R. Tolkien had drawn four extant maps of the Shire. Eventually Christopher Tolkien drew a large-scale map in 1943, in which he had some freedom to develop the details north of the Water. Many village names are actual English place-names (cf. Nobottle, Rushock, Newbury, Needlehole), or emulate english toponymy.
