Trinity test happened on the morning of July 16, 1945 just before dawn.
More than a thousand in total. Only one was tested during WW2.
Many atomic bombs were detonated for "test" purposes. Fortunately none were used in war.
The United States tested atomic bombs primarily at the Nevada Test Site, now known as the Nevada National Security Site, starting in 1951. Additionally, the first atomic bomb was detonated during the Trinity Test in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. Other tests were conducted in the Pacific, particularly at the Bikini Atoll and Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands, during the 1940s and 1950s.
The explosive power of the first test bombs were 20 kilotons.
The very first atomic bomb was exploded in a test in the New Mexico desert on July 16, 1945. If you'd like to look up more information about it, you can look up the codename "Trinity".
The atomic bomb was developed during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project, which began in 1942. The first successful test of an atomic bomb, known as the Trinity Test, occurred on July 16, 1945. The bombs were subsequently dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Thus, while the project spanned several years, the actual bombs were created and tested in 1945, not between 1944 and 1947.
The only atomic bombs dropped on any nation during a military conflict were the two atomic bombs dropped on August 9 and 6 in 1945. There have been test bombs dropped by Russia and the United States but not on people or cities. Therefore the answer to your question is that there have been no bombs dropped after the space race or since World War 2. The reason is obvious: It causes immense devastation and deaths instantly and for many decades afterward. No nation truly wants to use an atomic bomb. The Atomic Race is basically over and thousands of atomic bombs have been dismantled in the USA and world wide. There are still nuclear missiles around but they are meant for defense against nations who use them as offense against another nation (North Korea is a current treat of this.)
Atomic bombs were NEVER tested in area 51. Area 51 is not part of the nevada test site, it is an Airforce test area for classified aircraft.

The first country to develop and test an atomic bomb was the United States. This was achieved during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project, with the first successful test occurring on July 16, 1945, at the Trinity site in New Mexico. Following this, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, leading to Japan's surrender and the end of the war.
Nevada neither participated in the creation nor production of the atomic bomb. However both atomic bombs and reduced yield hydrogen bombs were tested at the Nevada Test Site north of Las Vegas from 1951 to 1992 (above ground atmospheric tests ended in 1962). The test results were used by the design labs (Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore) to optimize the bombs and design variants of existing bombs. The Nevada Test Site does continue to be used for underground subcritical atomic device testing to get data for optimization of computer models used for atomic bomb design.
The Americans developed the atomic bomb during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project, which began in 1942. The first successful test of an atomic bomb, known as the Trinity Test, took place on July 16, 1945, in New Mexico.
