In "The Hobbit," the Company of Dwarves, along with Bilbo and Gandalf, stays in Esgaroth (Lake-town) for a short period, roughly a few days. Their arrival is greeted with hospitality as they prepare for their journey to the Lonely Mountain. During this time, they gather supplies and rest before continuing on their quest to reclaim the Dwarven homeland from Smaug the dragon.
Esgaroth is in the Long Lake of the river Running. It is east of Mirkwood and south of Erebor and Dale.

The town that was burned was called Lake-town, but is also referred to by Tolkien as "Esgaroth" and "Esgaroth on the Long Lake".It is likely that Esgaroth existed alongside the town of Dale, which laid at the foot of the Lonely Mountain. Dale would have been the primary settlement, when Esgaroth acting more like a trade center between Dale, Greenwood, Erebor, the Iron Hills and the human settlements to the East along the River Running. It is mentioned in The Hobbit that at low tide, more pilings from a "greater town" could be seen, indicating that a larger settlement once existed on the same site.After the destruction of Lake-town, the humans built a greater city father down the lake and called it Esgaroth.
In Tolkien's The Hobbit, the Master of Esgaroth (Laketown) runs away when the dragon begins to destroy the town.
