In Esgaroth, commonly known as Lake TownBard the Bowman lived in Lake Town
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.

Bard told Thorin that Thorin must give Bard a portion of the treasure to rebuild Esgaroth, or he would be considered the foe of the lake-town.
The Master of Esgaroth, an elected official of the city, flees with the gold that is meant to be used to rebuild the dragon-devastated town. He dies alone somewhere in the wilderness.
Lake-Town's actual name in The Hobbit is Esgaroth, built of wood and situated entirely in the Long Lake.Esgaroth/Lake-Town is not to be confused with the city of Dale, built between the Lake and the Lonely Mountain (Mount Erebor). Dale was destroyed by Smaug when he took over the Lonely Mountain, but was resettled after the dwarves reclaimed Erebor and Smaug was killed.
