It was discovered on 19 January 1937, by French astronomer Louis Boyer at the North African Algiers Observatory in Algeria.
[2] Lagrula is a presumed member of the Flora family, a large group of stony S-type asteroids in the inner main-belt.
[10] During March and April 2013, photometric observations of Lagrula were made over ten nights by Italian astronomer Giovanni Casalnuovo at Eurac Observatory (C62) in Bolzano, Italy.
Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 5.9176 hours and a brightness variation of 0.28 magnitude (U=2+).
[7] In January 2016, a more refined period of 5.882 hours with an amplitude of 0.44 magnitude was obtained from a bimodal lightcurve by Spanish astronomer group OBAS, Observadores de Asteroides (U=3).
