The Droughts are an Irish family. They were once considered one of the principal families in the King's County (modern-day Offaly) in the Eastern and Midland Region of Ireland.
A numerous family, they are believed to have settled in County Carlow around the year 1600. They later spread to County Kildare, and the King's and Queen's Counties towards the end of the 17th century.
