The first nuclear bomb was created by the United States in 1945. No one person invented it. It was developed under a secret effort named the Manhattan Project. The project was under the direction of a theoretical physicist named Robert Oppenheimer but Enrico Fermi and several other of the nation's top physicists lent their knowledge and ingenuity to the project. He is noted for saying when he saw the first nuclear explosion, words from the Bhagavad Gita came into his mind. "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds," .
I know you are thinking of Enrico Fermi, but no he did not invent the atomic bomb.It is possible however that Enrico Fermi could be credited with the invention of the graphite moderated nuclear reactor, which ultimately led to the three massive plutonium production reactors built at Hanford, Washington by DuPont which made the plutonium used in the Fatman and many later atomic bomb designs.
The first 'splitting of an atom' was by Ernest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson,At The University of Manchester,Manchester,England in 1917,This discovery proceeded into the development of a Nuclear weapon. The Manhattan Project,in Los Alamos,USA On the 16th July 1945 detonated the first atomic bomb.Those involved in the making of the bomb were:Robert Oppenheimer, David Bohm, Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner, Otto Frisch, Rudolf Peierls, Felix Bloch, Niels Bohr, Emilio Segre, James Franck, Enrico Fermi, Klaus Fuchs and Edward Teller.
A very large number of scientists and engineers working together in the Manhattan Project. There's no one person that can be definitively pointed to as the "inventor" of the atomic bomb; the list of people who were involved reads like a Who's Who in Physics of the first half of the 20th century: Oppenheimer, Bohr, Fermi, Seaborg, Feynman, Szilard, and literally hundreds of others.
Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi, Edward Teller, and J. Robert Oppenheimer
This was part of the Manhattan Project in WW2, the first reactor was designed by Enrico Fermi
False, but he worked on the project that did.Enrico Fermi created the first nuclear reactor, is true.
This was in Chicago in 1942, as part of the Manhattan Project to develop the A-bomb, and the chief scientist was Enrico Fermi.

You can identify some of them from the article linked.
Manhattan is where New York City is located, and it has a lot of scientists. But perhaps you are referring to the Manhattan Project? This was the name of a research and development project which produced the first atomic bombs during World War II. The two lead scientists were Albert Einstein and Enrico Fermi.
The Manhattan Project began quietly 1939 under Enrico Fermi, but became formalized in 1942 under J Robt Oppenheimer. The major mathematical support came from John von Neiman and his team at Princeton
