The Blue Mountains, also known as the Ered Lindon, is the mountain range at the far west of Eriador.
The Mountains were ruined during the War of Wrath, and in the south central end of the range the sea broke through.
Most of the Dwarves migrated east to Khazad-dûm, however some remained to rebuild. Overtime however, the Dwarves seemed to have largely moved to the Southern chain.
In the Third Age the Blue Mountains apparently saw the return of many of the Firebeards and Broadbeams due to the isolation/stagnation of Khazad Dûm. It also became the new home for many of Durin's folk who were exiled from their halls in Erebor by Smaug the Dragon.
