Council of Elrond. Elrond comments that the Old Forest is the remnant of a larger expanse that stretched as far as Dunland and the Orald was the name of Bomabadil among the Northmen ancestors of the Rohirrim. Gandalf implies that his range was greater in previous times so it is possible that Bombadil walked the fringes at least of the Mark at one time though who knows if the Rohirrim had any legends of him. No doubt Balfrog could point you in the direction of an article on the subject
