Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first atomic explosion in history took place in Alamogordo, New Mexico on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. Although atomic bombs were later dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, those were not the first atomic explosions. The Bikini Islands were later used for nuclear testing, but not until after the first atomic explosion had already occurred. The Salt Lake desert and Oak Ridge were also sites involved in the Manhattan Project, but not the location of the first atomic explosion.
