SE Hinton based it on a gang that see knew. The names are made up, but most of the story is very real. I wouldn't say it was fiction. Actually, its a realistic-fiction because it was based on a gang she knew. she started writing the book when one of her friends got beat up by a soc just like ponyboy did in the begining. Back then there really were socs. and greasers. but now i believe they are called the preppies an the punks.
