 The North-kingdom of Arnor
It was not until the reign of Aragorn, King Elessar, that the North-kingdom of Arnor was reestablished and reunited with Gondor.

 Third Age: Kings Of Arnor
Arnor was originally the northern realm of Elendil; his sons ruled Gondor in the south.
By the time his infant heir was of age the kingdom was irrevocably broken in two, and his descendents settled for making the wilds of the north their home.
This division was the downfall of the North; when the Witch-King of Angmar rose to power, long years of war ground the shards of Arnor away to dust.

King of the Reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor
Aragorn is the heir of Isildur, the King of Gondor of who cut the Ring from Sauron's hand and kept it, instead of destroying it, cursing the race of men with a fame of weakness and impending downfall.
Still, Aragorn was a direct descendant - through Kings of Arnor and Arthedain, and Chieftains of the North - of Isildur, Elendil's son; and, through Elendil, of Elros Tar-Minyataur, first King of Númenor and brother of Elrond Halfelven of Rivendell.

This strife severely weakened the Dunedain of Arnor, and it was soon after the reign of Malvegil, King of Arthedain, began in T.A.1272 that a dark power began to emerge in the mountains to the north of the Ettenmoors.
For the next century and a half, the Kings of Arnor continued to hold off the attacks of Angmar with ever lessening strength, until in autumn of T.A. King Arvedui sent a message to his kin in Gondor that Arthedain was in dire straits and the Witch-king was preparing to destroy the Dunedain.
King Earnil II of Gondor immediately began preparing a fleet to sail to the aid of Arvedui.

 Arnor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arnor was founded at the end of the Second Age (S.A.  3320) by Elendil, whose sons founded Gondor at the same time.
The King of Arnor held the overlordship of all the land between the Ered Luin and the River Poros on the southern borders of Ithilien, east to the eastern borders of Mordor.
The population of Arnor were mostly wiped out by the wars, but the Hobbits survived in the Shire, men survived in Bree and probably other villages, and the Dúnedain of Arnor created new homes in the Angle south of Rivendell, where some of them became known as the Rangers of the North.

 [ Daily Tolkien ] Razing Arnor: How real were the Dunadan conspiracies?
Turambar was the King of Gondor from 541 to 667.
One implication of the division of Arnor is that Amlaith was not a strong leader, or else that his brothers had themselves become strong enough to not only challenge his authority but to secede from Arnor.
Arnor stood to gain nothing by an association with the Black Numenoreans, and because of its close friendship with the Eldar, Arnor may have retained a stronger tradition of hostility toward those Numenorean colonies which had supported Sauron.

Elrond chose to be counted among the elves, serving the household of Gil-galad until the end of the second age, and founding Rivendell in the third.

 Aragorn's Ancestry
Aragorn's claim to the throne of Arnor can be traced through the tables of the Rangers, Kings of Arthedain and Kings of Arnor.
His position as heir to the throne of Arnor is straightforward, for the line is unbroken back to Elendil, the founder and first ruler of the Northern Numenorean 'exile' kingdom.
The distinction is made clear by the argument over the throne of Gondor which arose after the marriage of the last Arnorian king, Arvedui of Arthedain, to Firiel, daughter of Ondoher (the 31st king of Gondor).

Elendil ruled in the northern realm of Arnor and was High-King of Gondor and Arnor.
Both Arnor and Gondor had closer ties with neighbouring folk who were allies in their deadliest conflicts: Arnor with Rivendell and Lindon; Gondor with the Northmen of Rhovanion.
Afterwards Arnor's borders withdrew from the Gwathlo to the Baranduin and East-West Road and the two kingdoms were separated by a large stretch of depopulated lands (Cardolan, Enedwaith and Calenardhon).

Valandil’s line was driven into exile after the fall of Arnor and the death of the last king of Arnor, Arvedui (due to the Witch-King of Angmar): they became the Dunedain rangers of the north, living a life of secrecy until Aragorn II became the high king after the destruction of the One Ring.
Elendil was the High King and dwelt in the North at Annuminas; and the rule in the South was committed to his sons, Isildur and Anarion.
Arvedui, last king of Arnor, did try to reclaim that title, but his claim to the throne of Gondor was rejected.

But he preserved the royal authority of the Kings of Arnor through his title Lord of the Dunedain (in "The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen", Aragorn introduced himself as "Aragorn, Arathorn's son, Isildur's Heir, Lord of the Dunedain").
The Shire-folk appointed their Thain "to hold the authority of the king that was gone".
Of these there were two orders, the king's thanes, who attended the kings in their courts and held lands immediately of them, and the ordinary thanes, who were lords of manors and who had particular jurisdiction within their limits.

But the dead kings and monarchs from their wars were buried on the Barrow-Downs, a place that was for a very long time, sacred.
Arnor was founded by Elendil in the last years of the Second Age (so yeah just before the downfall), it was the great kingdom of Men in the north of Middle-earth.
The Barrow-Wights were evil spirits sent to dwell in the Barrow-downs by the Witch-king of Angmar during his wars with the remnant (they were diminishing by then) of Arnor, and who remained there long after the realm of Angmar itself had vanished from the world.

Or is it that Arnor retained something else which Gondor never fully achieved?
If Arnor's borders were less secure than Gondor's, they may have been more stable.
Hence, rather than move into Enedwaith as a result of Arnor's division, Tarannon could have precipitated that division by frustrating a younger son's ambitions.
