Sméagol was a Hobbit living with others of his kind before they moved West in Eriador to what became the Shire. He lived East of the Misty Mountains, near the Anduin & the Gladden Fields. When he found the Ring, he hid in the Misty Mountains. Then after Bilbo took It, he wandered & was caught by Sauron's servants. Brought to Mordor, he was tortured & allowed to escape through Cirith Ungol (because Sauron hoped he'd lead him to the Ring), acquainting & 'befriending' with Shelob along the way. He passed through the Dead Marshes & was caught by Aragorn, who surrendered him to the elves of Mirkwood. He escaped from them in quest for the Ring. You know the rest.
He never went to Isengard & probably never visited the Shire either.
