From SEDS.ORG:
Discovered
by William Herschel in 1784.
NGC
7331 is one of the brighter galaxies which is not included in Messier's
catalog. It exposes a fine spiral structure despite its small
inclination from the edge-on position. Several companions and
background galaxies are visible even in our photo. NGC
7331 was among the earliest recognized spiral galaxies, and listed
by Lord
Rosse in
his list of 14 "spiral or curvilinear nebulae" discovered before 1850.
