Why were the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki targeted for the dropping of the atomic bomb during World War 2?

There were several considerations in choosing the site for the first bomb. * The target should be an urban area of at least three miles diameter; * The target should be capable of being effectively damaged by a blast; * The target should not have been a previous target of conventional bombs, so that the damage from the single new bomb could be evaluated (both by the US and the Japanese governments) on its own. Hiroshima met all these criteria, and in addition was a significant military site. Nagasaki was actually not the first choice for the second bomb; the city of Kokura was the intended target and the bomber made three passes over Kokura before being directed to the secondary target of Nagasaki due to heavy cloud cover at the primary site. Nagasaki was a major Imperial Japanese Navy port and, though it had been bombed previously, had not suffered extensive damage.

Why bomb Nagasaki instead of Tokyo?

Tokyo was the capital of Japan during World War II and still is. So it seems like if you want to do some real damage, you would bomb the capital, right? Not quite, because both Hiroshima and Nagasaki (atomic bomb targets) were major industrial cities. Nagasaki was the last city that the US wanted to bomb, it was an effective place to drop a bomb, because Mitsubishi had a huge factory there. Before Mitsubishi became a car company, they created the Japanese Zero plane, considered to be the best Japanese fighter plane. Mitsubishi mass-produced the Japanese Zero right in Nagasaki, so it would eliminate the idea that Japan would retaliate.
