Anarchy is the absence of any government...so whatever was the first society to not have any regulations or government would be considered anarchistic.

Anarchy is a school of socialist thought. It is probably the most idealistic of all socialist groups. The basic premise behind anarchy is that people are, at their core, relatively good and therefore do not need governments to issue laws etc. Communists had basically this same thought, however, they thought that the best way to get to this ideal society, where everyone owns the means of production in common with an absense of actual government, was through what is called The Dictatorship of the Proletariat, whereby all the preconditioning we have been given through the ages, to think we need governments, to give certain people more than others, creating social inequality, trying to get ahead of others by hoarding extra resources, would be conditioned out of us. Anyway, probably the most famous anarchists were Emma Goldman and Leo Tolstoy and their works are both available online for free at Project Gutenberg and some other places. Wikipedia also has some excellent material on anarchy if you can't stomach Goldman, I can't.

This is going to be an answer that you will probably doubt because I can't give you any sites to back it up but it is true.
The first nation that suffered from a state of Anarchy is France but the reason for it stemmed from what was called the "Period of Enlightenment" With the world in such drastic changes because of all the science that was springing up a group the .... ( I forget their name of the group Desocartes was with them) Proposed that there was no reason to obey the bible because the new science had proven there was no God. Needless to say the country went to hell in a hand basket because up to that time the world (and our current world) derived its morals from the bible and since there was no reason to be good people were really bad.
