Drogeham (West Frisian: Droegeham) is a village of about 1,700 inhabitants[3] in the Dutch province of Friesland.
Agriculture still plays an important part in the town, but small-scale industry is on the increase.
Many people have their jobs in nearby larger towns like Drachten, Surhuisterveen, and Leeuwarden.
The most common language is still West Frisian although there are more and more people coming to Drogeham who have Dutch as their mother-tongue.
The village was first mentioned in 1475 as Asterham, Drogheham, and means dry land in a bend of a stream.
