Groups . . . noob question

The recent discussion of group rights raises a real noob question for me.

In many discussions, man pages, I see a reference to a group "wheel" but 
I see no such group on my system.  Is there actually a group of that 
name?  Or does using that name have a specific result?  Or is it a place 
marker for "whatever"

Thanks
