Editing Thomas E. Dewey (section)

==Legacy==
In 1964, the New York State legislature officially renamed the [[New York State Thruway]] in honor of Dewey. Signs on Interstate 95 between the end of the [[Bruckner Expressway]] (in the [[Bronx]]) and the [[Connecticut]] state line, as well as on the Thruway mainline (Interstate 87 between the Bronx–Westchester line and Albany, and Interstate 90 between Albany and the New York–Pennsylvania line) designate the name as ''Governor Thomas E. Dewey Thruway'', though this official designation is rarely used in reference to these roads.

Dewey's official papers from his years in politics and public life were given to the [[University of Rochester]]; they are housed in the university library and are available to historians and other writers.

In 2005, the [[New York City Bar Association]] named an award after Dewey. The Thomas E. Dewey Medal, formerly sponsored by the law firm of [[Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP]], is awarded annually to one outstanding assistant district attorney in each of New York City's five counties (New York, Kings, Queens, Bronx, and Richmond). The medal was first awarded on November 29, 2005. The Thomas E. Dewey Medal is now sponsored by the law firm Dewey Pegno & Kramarsky LLP.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Thomas E.

In May 2012, [[Dewey & LeBoeuf]] (the successor firm to Dewey Ballantine) filed for bankruptcy.

[[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] writer Dana Coty named [[Donald Duck]]'s nephew [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie|Dewey]] after Thomas E. Dewey. <ref>  {{cite book |last=Andrae|first=Thomas |date=2006 |title=Carl Barks and the Disney Comic Book |url= https://www.google.com.au/books/edition/Carl_Barks_and_the_Disney_Comic_Book/CYP2Cj_Gb98C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Dana+Coty+dewey+long&pg=PA39&printsec=frontcover|location= |publisher=University Press of Mississippi |page=39 |isbn=9781578068579|access-date=20 January 2025}}</ref>
