The church was founded in 1823, during his term as vice president. Its first meeting place was in New York Marine Hospital (then known as the Quarantine), a predecessor of the immigration facility on [[Ellis Island]].

Four forts in New York State in the [[War of 1812]] were named for Governor Tompkins, in [[Fort Tompkins (Staten Island)|Staten Island]], [[Fort Tompkins (Sackets Harbor, New York)|Sackets Harbor]], [[Fort Tompkins (Buffalo, New York)|Buffalo]], and [[Fort Tompkins (Plattsburgh, New York)|Plattsburgh]].

Tompkins Park in [[Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn]], New York (now called [[Herbert Von King Park]]) was named after Tompkins.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/herbert-von-king-park|title=Herbert Von King Park}}</ref> The nearby Tompkins Avenue and Tompkins Public Houses are likewise named.

[[Tompkins County, New York|Tompkins County]] in New York, [[Tompkins Square Park]] in Manhattan, Public School 69 Daniel D. Tompkins School in Staten Island, and the [[Tompkins, New York|Town of Tompkins]] are named after him, as is Tompkins Road, running between [[New York State Route 22|Post Road (NY-22)]] and Fenimore Road in Scarsdale, New York.

[[Tompkinsville, Kentucky]], is named for Tompkins. It is the county seat of [[Monroe County, Kentucky]], which is named for the president under whom Tompkins served as vice president.

Tompkins was mentioned by [[Santa Claus|Kris Kringle]] in the 1947 film ''[[Miracle on 34th Street]]''. The screenplay was incorrect, however, in that Kringle mentions that Tompkins served as vice president under [[John Quincy Adams]] when Adams's vice president was actually [[John C. Calhoun]]. Tompkins was the sixth vice president and Adams was the sixth president, leading to confusion in the script.<ref>"The Making of Miracle on 34th Street, 50th Anniversary Edition" (Sindpiper Publishing), 1997</ref>

American actor and producer [[Richard Kollmar]], husband of columnist and TV personality [[Dorothy Kilgallen]], was a great-great-grandchild of Tompkins.<ref>{{Cite news|date=1940-04-06|title=Miss Dorothy Kilgallen Bride of R. T. Kollmar|page=4|work=[[The Brooklyn Daily Eagle]]}}</ref>
