Sta.sh
Linhir was a river port I think. Slightly less important, but still, one of the key battles of the War of the Ring took place there:
Linhir
Town in southern Gondor. Linhir was located near the juncture of the River Gilrain and the River Serni on the border between Belfalas and Lebennin. The town was about twenty miles upriver from the Bay of Belfalas. There was a ford and a ferry bridge over the river at Linhir, and the main road in southern Gondor passed through the town.
During the War of the Ring, Corsairs of Umbar and Men of Harad came up the Gilrain to Linhir and fought to gain control of the fords against Men from Lamedon led by Angbor. On March 11, 3019, Aragorn arrived at Linhir leading the Dead. The Corsairs and Haradrim fled in fear, as did all of the Men of Lamedon except Angbor. Aragorn told Angbor to gather his forces and follow him to Pelargir, where the Corsairs had assembled a great fleet.
Names & Etymology:
The element lin means both "pool" and "song." It's not clear which meaning is intended in the name Linhir. The element hir is the lenited form of sir meaning "river."
Haha, sorry couldn't resist.
