The first atomic bomb was tested in 1945 near Alomagordo, New Mexico, by a group of civilian scientists and Army engineers under the Manhattan Project. The Army side of the project was led by General Leslie Groves and Robert Oppenheimer directed the scientists. Aside from Americans, there were also British and Canadians involved at points throughout the process.

But even though many were involved, Oppenheimer is generally the one referred to as "Father of the Bomb".

It wasn't just one person, it was several hundred. Neels Boore and the Manhattan Project which began under the stadium at the University of Chicago is where the idea was started.Rent the movie Little Man and Fat Boy. They were the two bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 to stop World War II. The movie is a docu-drama of how the bombs were conceived and built.

There was no one person. There could not be. It was the team effort of many Americans and foreign geniuses who came here to help us do it. The whole thing was called the Manhattan Project. This was to keep the Germans in the dark. There was a nuclear reactor under the football stands at the University of Chicago. There was Los Alamos in the southwest New Mexican desert, where the bomb was tested. And there was Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where the uranium was enriched. Names that shine in this effort are Oppenheimer, Fermi, Bohr (two of them LOL).

Just go to any good search engine and look up "Manhattan project" to find out.
