The book says it was prehistoric. Possible after the last Ice Age. The White Oaks section of the Weirs was an island. As the the old lake shore railroad bed between Glendale and Lakeport area was underwater. Merrymeeting River section was the outflow into the ocean.
There is a thread posted as to when the Lakeport dam was built. I believe it was built by the Lowell Mass. mill owners to make sure there was a constant supply of water.
