They were established in 1898, fifteen years after the founding of the Bath Iron Works, a major shipbuilder, one and a half miles upriver. They were part of a major upgrade of the river's lights — the Doubling Point Light and the separate Range Lights on the point, Perkins Island Light, and Squirrel Point Light were all built at the same time.
The Doubling Point Range Lights were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Kennebec River Light Station on January 21, 1988, reference number 87002263.[3]
