Dol Amroth was a rocky promontory on the western coast of Belfalas named after the Sinda lord Amroth son of Amdír, who founded Tirith Aear upon its cliffs during the mid-Second Age. Later, after Belfalas was was given as a fief to Edhelion of Dor-en-Ernil and his descendants, the name was extended to refer to the entire Númenórean settlement of the promontory, both Ost-en-Ernil and Lond Ernil, the haven-town that grew up around it. When reference was made only to the town and not the castle. "Lond Ernil" was used instead.

When reference was made only to the town and not the castle. "Lond Ernil" was used instead. The city guarded one of Gondor's safest harbors, holding the realm's largest fleet outside of Pelargir. Due to their fine craftsmanship, ships built in Dol Amroth were more than a match for any of the craft of Umbar. Lond Ernil was also a busy mercantile center and boasted of some of the finest craftsmen in Middle-earth. As might be expected, Dol Amroth functioned as a dominant trade hub, the busiest in Gondor west of Pelargir. Many of the goods from the North that arrive by sea passed through Dol Amroth, and it was the best place to find passage to Tharbad.
