The Harfoots are one of the three races of Hobbits.
The Harfoots were the first to migrate westward into Arnor, and it was to them that the name Periannath or Halflings was first applied by the Dúnedain when they were first recorded in Arnorian records around 1050 of the Third Age.
The Harfoots were joined between 1150 and 1300 by the Fallohides and some Stoors.

A habit which set them apart from the Harfoots who lived in the mountain foothills, and the Fallohides who lived in forests far to the north, was that many Stoors used boats, and could swim.
After the Harfoots had migrated westward, and the Fallohides followed them in 1150 of the Third Age, the Stoors long remained in the vale of Anduin, but between 1150 and 1300 they, too migrated west.
Some Stoors went to the Angle south of Rivendell and mingled with the Harfoots and Fallohides that lived there, but most settled in the Swanfleet near Tharbad, which most resembled their old lands.

The Harfoots were the smallest of the three strains of Hobbits.
The Harfoots were the most numerous among the three strains and were also the most representative variety of the Hobbits.
They were considered the most adventurous among the Hobbits, and although the Fallohides mingled with the other strains after entering Eriador, the hobbits with a strong fallohidish strain in them were often seen as chieftains of other clans of Hobbits by virtue of their leadership qualities.

The Harfoots, perhaps remembering their ancient past or having heard the stories of the wars between the Elves and the ancient Dark Powers, fled over the Misty Mountains into Eriador, never to return.
The Harfoots had brown skin and hair, and were the smallest of the three.
The Harfoots were the first to cross the Misty Mountains, followed later (1150) by the Fallohides, and then by the Stoors (1300).

The Harfoots migrated over the High Pass and settled in Rhudaur, presumably between the Mitheithel and the Weather Hills, although they could also have settled in the foothills of the mountains and the northern lands which had not yet fallen into evil.
Let us suppose that the Harfoots, who were the largest group, first migrated west from the Vales of Anduin because of war in their former lands.
If there were only a few thousand Harfoots and Fallohides left by this point, their arrival would not have caused much more than a local stir.

The Stoors were broader, heavier in build; their feet and hands were larger, and they preferred flat lands and riversides.
The Fallohides, Harfoots and Stoors arrived in Wilderland from the East, probably independently, sometime in the early Third Age before the first invasions of Easterlings.
It seems, however, to have been at first a name given to the Harfoots by the Fallohides and Stoors, and to be a worn-down form of a word preserved more fully in Rohan: holbytla 'hole-builder'.

They were broad, heavier in build, and somewhat stronger than the other hobbits They were less shy of men and often lived alongside them on the banks of the river Anduin until they wished to find a land they could call their own and moved west.
The Harfoots were the most common and rather dwarvish in make and temperment.
Harfoots came from the foothills of the Misty Mountains to Eriador for much the same reason as the Fallow-hides and Stoors: more room to live and grow.

 About the Stoors
A habit which set them apart from the Harfoots who lived in the mountain foothills, and the Fallohides who lived in forests far to the north, was that many Stoors used boats and could swim.  They also wore boots in bad weather.
After the Harfoots had migrated westward, and the Fallohides followed them in 1150  of the Third Age,  the Stoors long remained in the vale of Anduin, but between 1150 and 1300  they too, migrated west.
Some Stoors went  to  the Angle south of Rivendell and mingled with the Harfoots and Fellohides that lived there, but most  settled in the Swanfleet near Tharbad, which most resembled their old lands.

 Sensible Marks of Ideas - Brown-skinned hobbits, part II   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Harfoots are said to have browner skin than the other types of hobbit; they are also the most numerous and typical of hobbits, and the most likely to keep to their underground living habits.
This makes it almost certain that Frodo was a Harfoot, and very likely that Sam was too, so they should have been somewhat darker skinned than they appear in the film (though given the rosy-cheeked criterion, we’re talking Mexican rather than Ethiopian here).
Harfoots, Stoors and Fallowhides intermarried, so although most of hobbits around Hobbiton would be Hatfoots, there'd be enough Fallowhide in there to produce the occasional blond paleface.

 Hobbits - What do we know about them?
It says in the prologue to FOTR that there was a strong Fallohidish strain among the Tooks and Masters of Buckland, and that the original founders of Hobbiton were the Fallohide brothers Marcho and Blanco.
But the Harfoots were supposed to be the most normal and representative of Hobbits, and the most numerous, and they continued living in holes for a long time.
I think that most hobbits are Harfoots, and I agree that the Bucklanders were Stoors, and I also agree that Frodo probably had quite a bi of Fallohide in him.

 Fallohide at AllExperts
Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, the Fallohides are one of the three races of Hobbits.The Fallohides were the least common of Hobbits, and in their earliest known history they lived in the forested region where later was the Eagles Eyrie near the High Pass to the north, in the Vale of Anduin.
To their south lived the far more numerous Harfoots, and far south in the Gladden Fields lived the Stoors.
It was probably under Fallohide rule that the Harfoots migrated westward beyond Weathertop and reached Bree.

 A Short History of Hobbits
The most numerous of the clans was called the Harfoot, a people of uplands who dug their homes into the sides of hills, fleet-footed, and agile as their name implies.
It was TA 1050 when the first Harfoot left the land of his fathers, crossing over the Misty Mountains as far as Amon Sul.
Angmar had now risen in the Northern Kingdom, under the rule of its Witch King, and, in the year TA 1300, the Fallohides and Harfoots, were forced once again to flee westward, into the area of Bree and Staddle.

Before the crossing of the mountains the Hobbits had already become divided into three somewhat different breeds, or "races": Harfoots, Stoors, and Fallohides.
The Harfoots were browner of skin, smaller, and shorter, and they were beardless and bootless; their hands and feet were neat and nimble and they preferred highlands and hillsides.
The Harfoots had much to do with Dwarves in ancient times, and long lived in the foothills of the mountains.

The Harfoots were also the first hobbits to be called "hobbits".
Harfoots are browner of skin, smaller, and shorter, they prefer highlands and hillsides.
They were the 'most normal and representative variety of Hobbit, and far the most numerous...the most inclined to settle in one place.' Harfoots also maintained the archaic habit of dwelling in burrows (or smials) for longer than other Hobbits.

 History and Practice of Communications in The Shire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Harfoots, under the dual leadership of the brothers Marcho and Blanco (of Fallohide descent, interestingly), were the first to reach the river Baranduin (Took SR 412).
Being Hobbits, and primarily of Harfoot descent, they preferred to dwell in holes whenever possible, and so the ruins of men's dwellings that they found were quickly dismantled for the dressed stones which form the framing for the front doors of many of the finer homes in Whitfurrows to this day.
The Harfoots tended towards the open prairies of the downs, where dry sturdy holes could be dug with relative ease, while the Fallohides took to the deep woods that were scattered here and there around The Shire.

 Hobbit Lore
Yet the most numerous Hobbits were the Harfoots, who abhorred water (whereas the Lindar/Teleri, the most numerous Elves, loved water).
The Harfoots might originally not have been intimidated by water, but they may have suffered some great disaster that left them shaken enough to pass on a fear of water to later generations.
This guess implies the Harfoots may have been the most norhern branch of the Hobbits, which seems to coincide with what Tolkien says about their entry points into Eriador in the Third Age.
