You might want to look up "Freetown Christiania" and "liberland".

Murray Rothbard gave a "natural rights" justification for an AnCap society.

David Friedman (son of Milton Friedman) discusses and gives a *consequentialist* defence for an Anarcho-Capitalist society. It's discussed in his book 'The Machinery of Freedom' and references 14th century Iceland for an approximation of how a society based on private laws and courts work.

Murray Rothbard, however, is still is the best known AnCap theoretician.
