Legacy
Despite his administration being characterized by historians as both rocky and incompetent, a lasting legacy of Gage's tenure of office was his signing off on the establishment of the California Polytechnic State University in 1901.
In 1902, Gage appointed Ulysses S. Webb as California Attorney General. Webb became one of the most successful, longest-serving attorneys general in the history of California.
Gage Avenue in Los Angeles was named after him on October 28, 1929. Henry T. Gage Middle School, also located on Gage Avenue, is named after the governor. The Gage Mansion located in Bell is now the oldest remaining home in Los Angeles County and is a registered California State Historical Site.
