Elven refugees from Beleriand settled the area and established an Elven settlement about 50 miles north of the promontory, at Edhellond

During the Second Age, a Númenórean family of the Faithful settled near the Elves. Elendil who was of their kin, gave them title to rule the fief of Belfalas. They built their stronghold upon the promontory.

According to one story, Galadriel and Celeborn dwelt among the Elves of Dol Amroth. When the Elvish king Amroth was lost at sea in T.A. 1981 the last of these Elves left the realm which from then on became a realm of Men.

It was from the name of this king that Dol Amroth (the "Hill of Amroth") took its name. The first Prince of Dol Amroth was Galador, the son of Imrazôr. According to legend, Imrazôr had married the Elven-lady Mithrellas.

Being a coastal city, Dol Amroth was subject to occasional attacks by the Corsairs of Umbar. The fifteenth prince was slain in battle against these sea raiders in T.A. 2746.

In all there were twenty-one Princes of Dol Amroth before the twenty-second, Imrahil, led a company of knights and a contingent of 700 men from the city to Minas Tirith during the War of the Ring.
