It was a small project that employed a few people at many sites across the United States: the Manhattan Project was the code name given to a secret mission of developing the first Atomic Bomb by the US. The project first took place in three universities - Columbia University, University of California, and the University of Chicago. The project succeeded in 1942, after which the US government poured more funds to expand the project.
