Contract position for 1 year, clause stating may not leave before then
I am thinking about taking a long term temporary position with a staffing company. However, I was told I would have to sign an agreement that I would not leave the position for one year for any other permanent or temporary position. If I needed to move to another city before the year ended, could they sue me?

Forced to Stay
An person cannot be forced to work for anyone. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution outlawed that. However, if there is a contract involved, that does not mean that a former employer cannot sue a former employee for damages resulting from the employee's premature departure.
