The atomic bomb was not developed in Manhattan, but was developed by the Manhattan Project. The project was headed by General Leslie R. Groves Jr. with Robert J. Oppenheimer as scientific director and had several development sites across the United States. The primary facilities were Los Alamos, New Mexico, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the Hanford Site in Washington state.
The reason the project was named Manhattan Project was that its original administrative offices were in Manhattan, at the existing US Army Corps of Engineers offices, until they were relocated to Oak Ridge, Tennessee when adequate facilities for such offices had been built. But the name Manhattan stuck (probably partly because it made a good "cover", hiding the purpose/location of the project - as the name "Radiation Lab" obscured the project working on RADAR).
Nowhere, Manhattan Project was a codename not a location. The bombs were designed and built in Los Alamos, NM. The complete Manhattan Project involves locations in about a dozen different states.
The name Manhattan Project originated in that the first administrative offices for the US atomic bomb research project were in the Manhattan District offices on the 18th floor of 270 Broadway of the United States Army Corps of Engineers in Manhattan NYC. However as General Groves took over and reorganized the project and it began to expand the administrative offices were relocated to the Oak Ridge, Tennessee offices of the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
However the name Manhattan stuck and was also viewed as an ideal cover as the project no longer had any connection to Manhattan NYC.
It was distributed across the entire US:
Los Alamos, NM was where the design was done. Other parts of the work were done in secret sites in about a dozen states.
No, the first prototype graphite moderated reactor was developed in Chicago but the atomic bomb was developed in Los Alamos.
Los Alamos, NM
the Atomic bomb...........................
It was in New Mexico, not Tennessee
H-bomb
I suggest reading Richard Rhodes books:The Making of the Atomic BombDark Sun
An atomic bomb called Fat Man, developed in the Manhattan Project, WAS dropped onto the city of Hiroshima on 8/9/1945.
We developed the first working atomic bomb but, GER. made up the idea.
The atomic bomb was developed at Los Alamos.
Albert Enistein
No, Albert Einstein did not develop the atomic bomb, which was developed by a team of researchers led by J. Robert Oppenheimer. Einstein's theoretical work does provide the basis upon which the bomb was developed.
The United States
The story is too long to tell here. Read Richard Rhode's book: The Making of the Atomic Bomb.

NoNo. He developed the atomic bomb.
Too many to list.
I believe it was Los Alamos Los Alamos was a town, it still is, no city developed the atomic bomb, it was a group of scientists that developed it.
The Manhatten Project was the orginization that developed the atomic bomb.
