In page DeWitt Clinton:

"

Clinton's accomplishments as a leader in civic and state affairs included improving the New York public school system, encouraging steam navigation, and modifying the laws governing criminals and debtors. The 1831 DeWitt Clinton locomotive was named in his honor. The community of Whitestone, New York was for several decades after his death known as Clintonville, but reverted to its traditional name; however, the governor is memorialized by Clintonville Street, a major local road.

  • Following his New York Governorship, DeWitt became a popular given name - see DeWitt (name).
  • The City of DeWitt, Michigan is named for Clinton.[citation needed]
  • Both the town and township of Clinton, New Jersey are named after him.
