While considerable scientific and theoretical work had begun as early as
1939, the Army Corps of Engineers set up the Manhattan Engineer
District in August of 1942 and advanced Colonel Leslie R. Groves to the
rank of Brigadier General one month later and placed him in charge.
Groves was responsible for establishing the Oak Ridge site and Los
Alamos, but the scientific effort was led by J. Robert Oppenheimer.

It began research on that date into atomic weapons. This research was eventually named The Manhattan Project.
