Plutonium was used in the first A-bomb, the Trinity test of July 16, 1945.

Uranium, more specifically ore highly-enriched in U-235, was used to create the "Little Boy" bomb dropped on Hiroshima (August 6, 1945). The "Fat Man" dropped on Nagasaki (August 9, 1945) was another plutonium "implosion" bomb with about 40% higher yield than Little Boy. Plutonium became the typical fissile element in fission-fusion bombs.
