in the hobbit, i believe that there is a mention of an "Elf-tower" that Gil-Galad built west of the Shire as a gesture of friendship with Elendil? Could that possibly be one?

that is the tower on the towerhills, if I not completely mistake...
one of Sams daughters settled there, with the Red book.

The hills were called the 'Emyn Beraid' - on them were three white towers, the tallest of which, named Elostirion, held the palantir which looked only to the West.
Yes - Gil-galad likely built them for Elendil late in the Second Age, but that would be found in LOTR, not 'The Hobbit' - and yes, Sam's daughter and her family settled in the area when it was annexed to the Shire as 'Westmarch' early in the Fourth Age.

I suspect that SOME of Elendil's people lived there - and perhaps some (much) earlier colonists from Numenor... if only to keep a watch on the towers and so forth. I doubt it was anything like a major city though.
