Dergalt is a townland in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is situated in the historic barony of Strabane Lower and the civil parish of Camus and covers an area of 488 acres.[1] United States president Woodrow Wilson's ancestral home is located in the townland.
The name derives from the Irish: dearg alt (red glenside).[2]
