Nowhere. The first atomic bomb was made in Los Alamos, New Mexico.

However uranium was enriched in several large plants at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. This site was selected by the Manhattan Project due to the available of low cost electricity from the Tennessee Valley Authority, which was needed to operate the thousands of pumps in the Gaseous Diffusion enrichment process.

This uranium was used in the Little Boy bomb (the second atomic bomb detonated, the first atomic bomb used in combat) and at low enrichment levels in the Hanford plutonium production reactor's fuel.
