In 1960, East Weare Village was sacrificed for the Everett Flood Control Project. It had been a self-supporting, thriving community that was home to over 60 families, where farming and lumbering were the way of life. East Weare formerly had a train depot, churches, school, post office, toy shop, garage, grocery store, lumber mills, grist mill, Grange Hall, cemeteries, blacksmith shop, and creamery.
