It's impossible for a county (the populated place) to have portions in an adjacent county. If you wanted to do a template for specific towns, you could do that footnote for Delmar, however the part of Delmar that is in Maryland is clearly not a part of Sussex County. This footnote does not fit the county as a whole though, which is how the footnote reads and what the template serves.

The template actually does serve as a template for towns, cities, communities, and minor civil divisions in a county, as does every other template of its kind for the other 50 states. The footnotes indicate that the town has a portion in an adjacent county, and that has been deemed perfectly acceptable by a consensus of editors. The county isn't the populated place, the towns and cities are, and the footnote clearly indicates that the towns and cities are what is referred to as being in an adjacent county. I'm restoring the footnote.

And incidentally, the footnote is referring to Milford (which is partially in Kent County, Delaware), not Delmar, since the part in Maryland is a different town.

I understand that Milford is in two counties, however, I was merely using Delmar as an example and stating that it doesn't make sense to have this template saying that on the bottom of every town if only one town in the entire county crosses county lines.

That's why we have the footnote marker immediately after Milford in the "Cities" line.
