Who is the oldest hobbit?

I believe that at the end of The Return of the King, Bilbo becomes the oldest hobbit. I'm not 100 percent sure.

So that's settled." Jul 06 05, 8:53 AM

May I suggest that it was Smeagol aka Gollum as he was down in those caves a very long time and the ring kept him going. [Jul 07 05 8:32 AM] SOTHC writes: Smeagol was 587 years old and in most websites is described as Hobbit-like. Some however do claim that he was one. Jul 07 05, 12:45 AM

Although distantly related to Hobbits, Gollum actually is a Stoor. Gollum's identification as a Stoor is based on Gandalf's words in The Lord of the Rings I 2 The Shadow of the Past, 'I guess they were of hobbit-kind, akin to the fathers of the fathers of the Stoors'. Gollum's people split from the other Stoors in the fifteenth century of the Third Age, when troubled times in Eriador led them to migrate back eastwards across the Misty Mountains, and settle on the banks of the Gladden River.

The Old Took Lived to be 130, but he was passed by Bilbo who was 131 when he was llast mentioned in The Lord of the Rings. Bullroarer Took (who was so big he rode a full size horse) was older (people jokingly told Bilbo that since he passed The Old Took he should go for Bullroarer), but I don't know the exact age.
